1979 axle code help

My newest service manual is a 1975 - anyone got a 1979 service manual? I just got a 1979 F350 2WD 9300#GVWR with an axle code of 36, and was wondering what axle model and ratio that is supposed to be.

Thanks,

Thanks for the quick answer! I thought the casting looked too small to be a 70 but I guess I need to take a closer look... Or, maybe someone replaced the original with a 60. Thanks again,
