Axle Codes
The axle code on my '74 is 24P. The code on my '76 is 24J. What do these mean?

Go over to
www.Fordification.net and decode them.
IIRC, if it's 2WD and the third position of the code is a J that it means the rig came equipped with power steering. For a 4WD, the third position denotes the axle model and rating.

Does anybody know how many spline axles the '74 F250 4X4 would have?

Front: 30 spline inners, 19 spline outers.
Rear: 16 spline (30 spline after late year '75).

What are the inners and outers?
I have my eye on a Dana 60 with a posi in it out of a '72 F250 for $300. Is it worth that?

An axle shaft has two ends... and they are correspondingly splined different.

The fronts are 2 piece shafts on either side of the axle, hence the terminology inners and outers.
The D60, if also a '72 will only be 16 spline, so it's worth far less than $300 if that's the case.
