If the diff covers have never been removed and even if they have, there should be a thin metal tag with some numbers stamped into it. On that tag it will indicate the size rearend. Like on my '01 F250 the tag has 10.5 stamped on it. That indicates a Sterling 10.5. Hope this helps. If you don't have the metal tags, you can always contact a Ford parts department and give them the VIN # and they can look it up for you.
