I assume you have some type of F150. The most common "smaller" axle is the 8.8 inch rear end. The outer cover has 10 bolts in a round pattern shown below. Is this what you have ? If so, the internal gearing will be "standard 8.8 gears".
Also look to see if there is a TAG on one rear cover bolt. See the numbers. Also there is a TAG on the drivers door jab.. Look under AXLE and list the code number here.
