The AXLE code is stamped on the Warranty Plate, located on the left door face below the latch.
If 8 lug 6.50" bolt circle wheels are present, it's either an F250 or F350.
265 75 16 is not the original tire size, it's a P-Metric radial. P-Metrics were not offered until the late 1990's for Ford trucks.
Radial tires were not even available from Ford for F100/350's until the mid 1970's, and then were optional over the bias ply tires commonly used then.
Original 16" tire sizes for 1973/79 F250's and F350's with SRW would have been: 7.50-16, 8.00 x 16.5, 8.75 x 16.5 & 9.50 x 16.5 for Camper Specials.
