Front Axle Identification

Are there obvious visual cues as to which axle I have? I think its a Dana 60 but am not sure.

The axle code from the door tag is B4J and the Vin compiler returns a code of P.S. (power steering?) for the front axle.

The truck in question is a '77 F-250 Camper Special, FT 4x4, standard cab with a 8100 pound GVWR rating.

BTW, awesome website!

8100# G.V.W. will be a dana 44. 8400# & up, would be a dana 60. Although someone could have switched it somewhere along the way. Measure your axle u joint from edge to edge if it's 4" then it's a dana 60.

u-joint is 3 and 3/4" so it must be a Dana 44. I asked because I'm reasearching lock outs.

Thanks for the help!
