Dana 50? No such thing prior to 1980...Dana 44 or 60 only.
Look on the lower portion of the right axle tube, just adjacent to the removable inspection cover for a bolted on 2" x 1/2" metal ID tag, which will have a 7 digit number on it (like: 603101-1)..post what you find, I'll decode it, and tell you what it's from. There may be a tag bolted to the cover, also.

I'm positive its a dana 50. the guy who owned my 70' before me used an 83' as a donor truck and put a bunch of its parts in the 70'.
After I get off work I'll climb under and look at the axle maybe you can tell me the gears it has, i've been curious about that since i pulled a toyota tundra out of the mud with little to no effort.
