That number embossed on the housing would be the part number for the housing
itself, I don’t believe that would indicate if it were an open or limited slip
diff inside or even the gear ratio for that matter. It's most likely an 8¼”
even though the 7¼” was used in some of the 4 cylinder trucks. The 8¼” had
27-spline axle shafts up to and including 96. Assuming it is a Dakota axle,
obviously, 5-lugs would be 90 or older, 6 lugs would be 91 or newer but the
shafts are interchangeable so if it’s the wrong bolt pattern, you could swap
you old shaft in or get a replacement set from someone like West Coast
Differential.
