Doubtful unless they were swapped in. Only the rare snow fighter F250 had a front 60 others were 44 front 60 rear. If it's 5 lug most likely 44 front 9" rear. Rear will have a drop out 3rd which is the easy way to spot a 9", no diff cover. Also good chance you have cast wedges on the 44 unless it's also a rare bird with front leaves and some of them came with an even rarer rear 44 instead of a 9". Post some pics and we'll let you know.

It can. Ford had some oddball packages and that was one. Like I said they used a rear 44 on some. Had several people argue with me on that one but my grandpa had one and I know he didn't do any axle swaps.

Get some pics up, like I said in the late 70s Ford had some oddballs and you may have one. More than likely you have a 44 front but the rear could be a 9", 44 or even a 60.
