It should be a Ford 9" rear axle, does not have an inspection cover.

9" was standard equipment in 1957/75 F100's, some 1976/79 F100's.

Dana 60's only installed in F250's.

Inch pound torque

On new bearings with a solid or crush sleeve around 25 is good, used bearings like to be @ 10-12 a with the used sleeve, the main thing is you have to have some resistance. As far as new bearings go I have been at various service schools where some say to fit up dry and some say with oil. I always fit up with oiled bearings.

Depending on the weight oil, it will definitely change your in/lb readings. No different then torquing engine bolts. There is a difference between oil and moly lube. The spec needs to specify.
