Question axles

hi i have a 1979 ford F250 4x4 and i have been trying to identify the front and rear axle and havent had any luck..but tonight i scraped off a bunch of dirt on the rear axle and on the bottom right hand side near the diff..it had the nember 60 on it..i printed off a axle differential identification chart and it looks exactly like the dana 44,60,70,and 80..how do i tell exactly which axle i have?? did these come stock in any of this year of trucks??and if it is a dana 60..how do i tell what the front axle is? the same way? i tried to scrape some mud and grease off the front axle but i'll have to wait for daylight for that
thanks alot for any help you guys..and girls.this site has been a huge help to me..IT'S AWESOME..

The Rear is definately a Dana 60. The front is either a Dana 44 heavy duty or a 60. I'm thinking towards the 44HD side.
