rearend?
1)Well factory codes are on the data plate on the door.This isn't a sure way.
2)There is supposed to be an aluminium Buck tag attached to one of the differential bolts.( This isn't a sure way)
3)Take the differewntial out and count the ring gear teeth & the pinion gear teeth and do the math. This is a sure way to tell.
4)Jack the rear of the truck up and make a chalk mark on the tire and one on the ground that matches it.
Turn the tire 2 revolutions and see how many times the driveshaft turns. This way will get you close but not completely acuurate.

rearend?
he may want to know what the rearend is not what gearing...
the 9" has a row of bolts around the front of the center section of the rearend, the dana's (44 & 60) have a cover and a ring of bolts around the back of the center section.. that's the easist way to tell...
a f-150 is most likely a 44, or a 9"
