need to know what axels and if it has front or rear disc?

thank you

 

This should help you decode everything http://www.fordification.net/tech/vin.htm

As far as which axle you have, it should be stamped on the housing in the bottom right corner next to the pumpkin. May take a wire brush and cleaner to see

 

A decoded VIN won't provide that information.

The VIN only provides the model, engine code, manufacturing plant, and consecutive unit number.

However, the warranty plate riveted to the rear face of the driver's door does provide the codes necessary for determining how the truck was originally delivered... unless the door has been swapped and the warranty plate wasn't transferred.

 

^ what HIO said

That pic shows is that the truck is a...

1979 F150
6cyl engine
made in Kansas City
April '79,
4x2 given the GVWR

You'll need to post the door tag which is riveted to the door, black and silver for more info.

 

F150 ='s 9" rear end, March 79 so 99% sure front end has single piston caliper disk brakes and drums on the rear.

And just so you know that sticker is NOT the vin tag, it is the Safety Certification sticker.

 

Any of yall have any idea what year(s) the Dana 44 was used as a rear axle?

 

Dana 44 under the rear of a Ford truck, never as far as I know...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dana_44 But what do I know? lol

 

1977-'79 Ford ½-ton pickups 1959-'68 2WD and 1962-'69 4WD Ford ½-ton pickups also used in Broncos up til 77

 

Here is ND's take on it from way back when. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/7...ml#post6514873

 

1951/56, 1959/67 with Limited Slip and on some 1977/79 F100/150's (with/without Limited Slip).

1959/67 F100's with 9" were not available with Limited Slip, 1968 was the first year.

Some 1963/66 F100's also have Dana 60.2 .. some 1966/68 F100's have Dana 60.3 .. both with Limited Slip, but neither is a Dana 60.

No 1966/77 Bronco had a Dana 44 rear axle.
