Double-check the code you have to make sure you haven't mis-read any of the digits and then try this site:

http://www.ultrastang.com/Rearinfo.asp?Page_ID=5

There is quite a bit of info there and you might be able to deduce what axle you have by comparing your tag info with what's posted. Good luck!

What you are SUPPOSED to do is ask the keeper of trivia...ME

That rear is a 9" out of a 63-72 F-100, 3.50 ratio non locker.
