Dana tag ID?

New here, first post.

78 F150 front axle tag,

350 D8TA AJA
610049-14 LS

I think I ordered the truck with a limited slip front. My Factory Manuals only list ID from the doorjamb tag, no help. According to the Manual several Dana mdls were used but is unclear as to application.

I just finished the rear diff and if the front is a limited slip my plan is to rebuild the clutches, if not then (?) but I need ID to start.

Can anyone ID my front diff mdl or tell my where to look?

Thanks for any help.

According to the tag number you gave you just have 3.50 gears with a open diff. IF it would of showed 3L50 then you'd have 3.50 gears with a limited slip.
