1972 F250 3/4 Ton -- Which rear diff??

Hey guys, I'm parting out my old '72. She's just far too rotted. The engine is getting yarded out with the transmission today, and I'm going to be pulling and selling the rear diff as well. The trans is sold, the engine I'm going to rebuild and sell. However, I have no idea which rear diff I have. How can I find out which one I have?

Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys! (and girls, if any)

You're right. I checked the tags and Googled it. 603195-1 comes up to be a Dana 60 (Spicer?) with 4.10 gears.

That should be right, there should also be a tag on the diff cover that has the gear ratio on it. It'll be on the lower line of the tag, and be written as 3 73 or 4 10 if it's an open diff, 3L73 or 4L10 if it has any sort of traction aid.
As a side note, if you build up to 25 posts you can advertise it in the Marketplace section.
