theres a good chance that it is a 31 spline, but you never know. Its not that hard just pull the wheel and pull all the brake components and 4 bolts that hold the axle to the tube with a retainer bracket and it will slide out. It would be a good time to check axle bearings grease and brakes while your at it also!

All V8 9" ers in trucks that I have seen are 31 spline. 6cyl got 28 splines.
Both my 77 F100 with a 302 and my 77 F150 351M originally have 31 splines.
I bought a 78 F150 300 I6 to swap beds on my F150 and it has 28 splines.
