PB,
   A dana 72 axle has very small axle tubes you will know one when you
see one. a D30 axle, on a Scout anyway, has two distinct spring perches
on them whereas the D40 on a Scout has the spring perch molded into the
pumpkin. I would guess on something other then a Scout the D30 would be
with drum brakes exclusively, where the D44 could have disk, but a 68
wouldn't have disk. On pickups you were offered D60's in the rear and in
the front if it is a 3/4 ton model. Again, I don't know what to tell you
to look for, I would know one on sight. A Dana 300 is the transfer case
that came in Scout II's from 1980. Before that they came with either a
Dana 20 or an International T-145 single speed t-case. Your pickup
probably has a New Process 204 in it. The tranny you have is a T-19 if
it has a really low first, but; I didn't think the T-19 was available
that early. You're sure it isn't a 5 speed?
