Brakes

I have an 84 F250 (2wd) and I want to determine if I have single piston or dual piston brake calipers. I'm sort of in a rush to get parts ordered so they can be shipped today and don't really want to go take this thing apart just to put it back together and take it apart again! I think it's an XLT, 6.9l, originally had a Borg Warner T19 but now has a ZF5. Not sure if any of these options would determine which calipers were used.

it SHOULD be dual piston.
but since the truck is also 40 years old, who knows what is on there now.

Thank you! Honestly, I just decided to buy both styles and will return whichever I don't need. I appreciate your response, I've been reading on this website for quite some time but finally just got an account and this is my first interaction 😂
