Look at the cover, the inspection plate with bolts and drain plug, to the lower right side looking at the cover, you have to lay down with a wire brush usually, tou will see a 60 or 70 cast in letters about the size of a nickel just to the right of the edge of the plate but not on the round part of the tube, its there, look at front one also, eight lugs is great sign, prob 3/4 at least, does the hub stick out thru rear wheel severeal inches, can you see where there are bolts to unbolt the round hub and remove the axle? That is a free floating axle, excellent, also the t/c is highly desired, you have 205 i guess, you have a real good truck to start with, divorced, with the big axles, floating axles, 35,s hey man buy it, lotta guys spend years swithcing out the wimpy 1/2 stuff to get what you have stock! Show us some pics please, also truck is easy switch to 5 speed overdrive if you put 9x20 rubber michlins with a spring/shackle adjuster kit, nice ride go for it!
