If it's a factory 8.2 inch, there should be a 2 letter axle code on the back side of the LH (driver's side) axle tube near where the factory welded on a clip for the LH brake line.
Years of rust and dirt can hide the code which was stamped. Starting at the brake line clip, start sanding down the axle tube around the clip in a widening circle until you see the stamped letters.
PS. Sandblasting will all but obliterate the letters. I restamped mine afterwards.
