Heart trouble, not computer trouble. One doesn't spend over a week in the hospital (twice) with computer problems.

There are TWO different types, the above is the late version:

C8TZ-16720-AA Right & C8TZ-16721-AA Left .. Hood Side Emblems / Obsolete

1968 from serial number C70,001 & 1969.

No Ford dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any, none on ebay.

See the link in post #1124 for the early version (1963/67 & 1968 before serial number C70,001).

I've had this 93 F-800 for a while and I believe you decoded it some years ago but I can't find that info now.
Would you do it again please.
Mainly I'm trying to figure what rear axle it has and the gear ratio if possible.
It looks like a Rockwell but the tag is missing.

Thanks!
4.10's work better for me, I was thinking it may have 3.70's
Just looked up the specs on the Allison MD3060 trans it has, .65 OD explains why it will run so fast.

Thank you for your help.
Could I ask you to decode one more VIN?

Really do appreciate the help.

Hey Number, I’ve been trying to find info on the trans the 65 I’m trading for. I can’t seem to find anything on it. Do u have sources on those? Here is the vin as I don’t have the trans info handy without looking at another post. Also is this a decent driveline combo? Seems different then most I’ve seen on here...
