Does 71 9" have 31 splines?

I know, I know, go undo 4 bolts and see! Well, I'm busy right now putting in a new engine will be making around 380-400 HP and I would like to be able to put it to the ground. I'm looking at detroit lockers and need to know if I have 31 spline axles. I know ford was using 28 splines in the early 60s but what about the early 70s.

thanks
austin

Its a hit/miss guess. Only sure way is to pull an axle. It could have 31, but the more common is 28 spline.
