Have your buddy take a cell phone pic...send It to you...You post it
other-wise ............you might be out of luck
Someone will be able to identify it with a pic...the tag won't help much

Good Luck........

I would guess at 4.11 gears but then the rest of the tag does not look anything like Ford numbers. Go here and try to find those numbers. Are you sure it is a Ford 9"?

B16 6 4 11 B06 is a Carrier ID tag number. I could not find this exact number in any 1948/72 truck parts catalog but did find similar numbers that begin with either A16 or C16.

If this is a Ford rear axle (I have my doubts), it's prolly from an F350 or larger truck.

It's not an 8 or 9 (introduced 1957) inch drop out (which do not have an inspection cover).

The ID number does not match up to a Spicer-Dana 44 (F1/F100-5 lug, 5.50" bolt circle) or Spicer-Dana 60 (F250-8 lug, 6.50" bolt circle).

If 6 lug, 7.25" bolt circle: 1953/66 F350 Timken rear axle.

4 11 is prolly 4.11-1 / B06 could be the code for the date the axle was assembled: February (B), 1956 (6) for example.

Photos: It's difficult to tell an 8" from a 9" by looking at it. 8's were installed in mid-sized 1962/80 passenger cars.
