Cool '79 F250 supercab

Can anyone tell me anything about this truck and Dana 44 front axle? I have the vehicle code and I know some of you can decipher this thanks.

The axle is stamped 44-9F

The door tag reads something like this:

X26HKFE7113

WB COLOR TYPE/GVW BODY TRANS AXLE
155 H1 X260 CTM K 37

07100 1979 57

Cool

My trucks all have the info in 2 places. One sticker on the driver door jam and one metal tag on the inner door. My wheel base code indicates 155", and came with no bed. Is it a long box or short box?

133 is a standard cab long bed. 155 would be a Supercab longbed.
