1965 f250 step side might have a dana 80 rear axle

My 1965 f250 I got through some one that didnt know much about it neither do I. I am a high school kid working on restoring it and was trying to first figure out how to take the axle out to replace bearings and then I was looking more at the differential we thought it was a dana 60 but then looking closely at where the model number goes and it said 80 is that common at all to have it and i couldnt find a tag on it. If you can give me any advice to whether or not they even use those or better ways to know for sure I would appreciate it and if you guys know how to take the axle out

The axle code on the warranty plate will tell that.
