* If the AXLE code contains a 3rd digit, it could decode to the 4WD's front driving axle type/ratio/capacity.
But after circa 1964, very few AXLE codes have a 3rd digit pertaining to 4WD
The front ratio will be very close to the rear ratio of 3.50.
Front driving axle has an ID tag which is located under one of the bolts that retains the inspection cover to the housing. Have you looked to see if it's still there?
Don't be surprised if it's missing. When people R&R'd the inspection covers, many forgot or didn't bother to re-install the ID tags.
