Rear axle ID

Can anyone tell me the axle code for a 76 F100 with H7J, and a 79 with a code of 06J? I found the codes for the 78 -79 ID plates but not for the "J". The are original trucks so the tags are actual. The J is for the front axle but both trucks are 2WD's. Is the J for the 2WD?

The J = power steering
06 = 2.75 2900lb open rearend
H7 = is possibly a 3.25LS, but I'm not sure on this one.

Ford doesn't seem put the fornt axle code on any Rating plate.

They only need to out the rear axle because if it is a 4x4, a automotive educated person knows that it has to be the same or marginally different ratio for the front
ie:
3.54 Rear / 3.54 Front
4.11 Rear / 4.10 Front

As Jimmy stated. the J stands for power steering with a NON-Tilt column

But if the truck had Power steering and a Tilt Column that code is X

H7 is a 3.00:1 ratio

Scroll to near the bottom of this page of mine.

Thanks for the replies. I got under the truck and got the gunk off enough to read the tag. The H7 has the 3L25 tag. I have several of these trucks one being a 78 F150 with an axle code of 11J. I cant find an 11 on the web page and the tag is missing off of the rear. Is there a sight that gives the 73-77 id codes?

I have all the codes you could ever need right here in my books.

The H7 does not show up listed in a book on the 76.
Perhaps Ford installed it in a late 76.
What is the Vin# on that truck.

It is however listed in the 79-80 Model year for Vans as a 3.00:1

There is already a thread on the Code 11 axle going on right now.
