Sorry about the picture size, it wouldn't let me resize it. Does the T of NT mean factory tandem axle? This one appears to have had the frame welded on both sides and maybe the tandem added.

The rear axle was not an RPO (Regular Production Order) for this truck. It was a Domestic Special Order and installed after the truck left the assembly line.
Who installed it and how it was done is unknown, as the records are no longer available.
The Fuller RT-915 15 speed transmission (usually installed in W/WT1000D w/a diesel), front axle and driveshaft were also Domestic Special Orders.
