If your handle is same as your truck it highly likely it has 28 spline axles.

1957/67 F100 9" = 28 splines // 1968/72 F100 9" = 28 or 31 splines.

The easiest way to tell if the rear axle is the original 28 spline or if the housing has been changed to a later model that might be a 31 spline is to look at the back of the axle housing. If the housing is smooth with a drain plug it is the original 28 spline rear end. The 31 spline parts won't swap into the axle housings with the smooth back because when Ford went to 2 1/4 inch rear drums they narrowed the housing slightly and moved the bearing seat on the axle to give room for the wider drums.
I just noticed you said 71 parts truck. Sorry. But pulling an axle is the only sure fire way to know. Since that 68 housing in the picture came out of a 65 truck that the PO said was the original.

Nope.. don't even go to PF in the off season .Really wish they would change where they have the show, but I guess that will never happen..

I have 3 63/64 hsgs that have filler plug in back with no drain and a 67 with no fill or drain. They are 28 spline axles.

I think that actually says WEV-G which is probably a 28 spline, 3.25-1 open, 8 3/4 inch ring gear. That's my guess. But ND or someone with a parts manual might not agree.

Or they might agree. Looks good. Only variations they mention is sometime mid-1971 model year they went from a medium differential bearing and cup to a slimline bearing and cup. Before or after J30,000.
