Door Tag/ door plate

So trying to determine a few things on my newly aquired '77.
I've already determined that my motor is a 351w (seller said it was a 351c...I really didn't think it was, but I didn't care. It starts and runs great)

Anyhow, I have been able to go through the VIN and get that decoded, but I'm trying to get the axle code verified.

here is the door tag

F14BLY10009

133B F143 DR4 1 16J
06350 1977 58

I'm guessing it must have been an "I" then. No big deal. The motor and trans have been replaced.

Thanks

No "I" either. Closest letter is "J" which is a Ford C4 automatic transmission. That could be used with a 300, so maybe.
