[Lil Bax]

The rear cover has 14 bolts.  It also has hubs, with 8 bolts (or so) that indicate a full floating axle.  you can unbolt those bolts, and slie the axle out, without unbolting the wheel.  the ring gear of a 14 bolt is 10.5"  diameter

Pick it up.  If it weighs about 550 lbs, it's a 14b FF
