First off great find! Second if it is a Napco the front axle will look just like the back (a modified HO52). If it is not a Napco it will have a closed knuckle Dana 44 front axle. It should have 4.56 gear sets an HO52 rear axle, a Rockwell transfer case (divorced of course) and the Dana 44 front axle. you will be able to see the number 44 cast in the drivers side bottom web of the center section. Napco's did not have K vin numbers (that I know of since they were all converted 2wd trucks) and would have a normal C vin code. Either way a cool truck. It would look great with a longbed stepside on it! Like my avatar.
