Axle identification.
My F350 doesn't have a code on the aluminum door tag for the rear axle, my F250 doesn't have an aluminum door tag (doesn't even have doors... or a cab) and niether of my F150s have codes for the front axles (I know they're D44s, but additional info would be nice). All '79s.
I do know the GAWR for the 350.
Is there a code on the axles themselves I can look for? Or another way to identify them?

Sometimes those codes on VIN plates are stamped away from where they belong...the trans code is a single digit, the axle code is three digits...sometimes they all run together.

An F350 with Dana 44's ?

Need a Bill Of Material number.
