They are WDM-AG1 2KC 3.00 9 344A / It is on a 72 F100 Sport Custom shortbed.
WDM-AG1 = Ford 9" Rear Axle / 3.00-1 / 4 pinion non Limited Slip / 3,300 lb. Rear Axle Capacity / Large Wheel Bearings / 'Slim Line' Differential Bearings/Races.

2KC = Assembled the third week (C) of October, (K) 1972 (2).

344A: 344 = Assembly Plant Code / A = Design Change.

Thanks Number Dummy,
I'm installing a 302 with a C6 to this rear end. Will it be strong enough to hold up?

Don't see why not, the 9" / 3.00-1 ratio was available in 1978/79 F100/150's with a 302/C6 combo.

It'll be strong enough, but will zap the power from the 302, should get good hwy mpgs though.
