Default Rear end identification

How do I find out what my truck has for a rear end? I thought it would be a Dana 70 but that isn't one of the options when I go to get seals at Autozone. Could I have an 80 in this truck or is it the 9 1/4", whatever that is?

I think he was talking about the axle seals.

Thanks everyone, I thought thats what it was. Now when I go to Autozone to get the seals for this axle I'm given the options: 60, 80 or "With 9 1/4" ring gear" is that the axle I should be ordering the seals for? I don't want to get my rear end apart and find out I have the wrong seals. Thanks again.

The problem here I think is the gasser 3/4 tons.


I am sure Uncle Bubba can shed some light on this.

Yeah,they need to input Diesel,cause' as far as I know you have a dana 70.
if you'd have had a 5 speed you would have had a 80.
I'd have them check and see if the numbers are the same,the hubs are probably the same.
