New project - trying to identify engine

I got this truck last weekend to start my first dent side project. The truck was titled as a 1976 six cylinder 2wd. Its obviously neither of those things, but as this is my first ds I need some help identifying my engine and axles. The sooner I can get this solved, the sooner I can start fixing stuff and get to the fun part. After reading a lot of posts on this forum, I think it's a 1978 351m np205 w/D44 front axle age D60 rear. It's a 4spd manual, btw.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Only way to tell a 351 from a 400 is by the crank. Ad judging by the picture it does look like a 335 motor.
