HELP: decode front axle tag/Questions

Front axle tag on my 1979 F150 4x4 reads:

3.50 D9TA-ACB
610067-2

Several questions:

I want to know if this dana 44 with ger ratio of 3:50 is a track - lok ?

If not, does anyone have one for sale, just the track-lok unit?

Am I correct to say I can use my ring and pinion on a ford track-lok unit ?

Acutually on my front axle if it is open only one side turns when locked into four wheel drive, right ?

No trak lock on Fords that's an American Motors term

Traction-Lock or the common Limited Slip ..would have an L after 3..as in 3L50

If it was a track loc it would have a letter after the ratio, don't remember what letter they used.

It is a 3.50 ratio.

It is a D44. Parts list: Bill of Material / Where Used

I would think you could use your R+P on a trac loc carrier, not a 100% sure.

Correct.
