60 for the front. 70 or 80 rear. If it is a automatic transmission it is a 70, If it's a manual it's a 80

Re:Diff ????

There is a decal inside the glove box on mine. Tells which rear is in the truck. I'm pretty sure that the older trucks had the decal under the hood. I'm sure you will have one, just have to find it. Should be a 60 up front, and a 70 if an auto, or an 80 if a stick on the rear.

Re:Diff ????

Lots of info here at Fritz's for axles and other things.
http://www.dodgeram.org/tech/specs/Ramspecs.htm

Just work your way down through the blue links until you get to the data page for your component. There will be lube capacities listed there too.

Usually underneath the hood, in the latch area, there is a build sheet for your truck. On it is the optional equipment. Your rear axle might be on it. If it has a limited slip option, that will also be listed. It might be a bit faded by now though.
