The "correct" muffler for your truck would be a single inlet single outlet that looks like a big glasspack. You seem to have some sort of muffler shop special. Your best bet would be to go back to a muffler shop.
Normally a good auto parts store can cross reference the Ford numbers that Numberdummy has in his books. Unfortunately your parts store seems to be deficient. Many of the clerks can't find or figure out anything unless it is in their stupid computers.

whats under mine is two long exh pipes the drivers side pipe turns to the pass side to clear front fuel tank then they go to the muffler two inlets and one exit pipe. the muffler is no longer than a regular muffler my guess its 12-13" long the rear of the muffler ends right at the front of the bed.on a super cab so you can see there long pipes. i can read the part # on the muffler thats on it now. but the inside diamiter of the muffler ia the same as the OD of the exh pipes. looks like they used a hammer ir something because the front of the muffler tubse are both split down the sides.if nothing else there is a whole bunch of room to cut the exh pipes and put on class packs or turbos
