Not with the info you posted.

I need the rear code to help determine the front code.

The front axle ratio has to closely match the rear axle ratio.
ie: Rear 4.11:1 = Front ratio 4.10:1
These ratios were only available in certain diff make-up.
ie: 9".... dana 60...dana 70
btw, you don't need to use the quote in a 2 way conversation

I know who says what

Axle code 24 is a Dana 60, 5300 lb, 4.10:1 ratio with an open differential. J indicates power steering.

The 'A' transmission indicates a New Process, 4 spd manual transmission.
