what axle?

I found a rear axle under a 74 ford that has square tubing like a rockwell but instead of facing up and down like all rockwells ive seen it faces front to back.It doesnt have a diff. cover it looks like a huge 9in with square tubing so im figuring its a military axle but not sure any help would be appreciated thanks.
