VIN Decode and Trans, Axle code

My dad has a rough 1980 he got for $200 that was used to take trash to the dump. He said that, if it will work, I gain have the rear-end out of it to replace the Dana 44 with 2.10 on my 79 f100. The vin code is F10FNGJ2388 the trans code is J and the axle code is 13. Thank you. Oh, and if it works he we will just swap them (he gets mine)

If it's a 2wd, they can be swapped out and traded with no problems.

My next question is, do you think it would be worth it and how much work should be involved? This is my first time doing anthing like this.
