That appears to be all light duty stuff from Toyotas, F150s, maybe up to F350.

I can see the PDF, I have looked it over and none of the number I am finding match up. I looked on the axle tubes front and back and cannot see any numbers.

Serving suggestion: Pull the yoke and front of the diff to the point you can get to the seal. Look for numbers and search by those.

Some risk there, but otherwise you have a road oiler.

Yea, that is kind of where we are at now. Going to try and pull the yoke this weekend.

F61 = F600 2WD (gas).

H = 370 2V or 4V

V = Kentucky Truck Assembly Plant.

GA1132 = 1980.

3B = Midnight Blue Metallic.

584498:

58 = Twin Cities MN Ford District Sales Office, where the original selling dealer ordered the truck from.

4498 = Domestic Special Order number, truck ordered special by the original purchaser, not "bought off the lot."

189" Wheelbase.

F612 = F600 2WD (gas), 23,100 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.

AB8: AB = Blue all Vinyl - Full Width Seat / 8 =Conventional Cab.

A = New Process 435 4 Speed Manual Transmission.

E34:

E3 = Eaton model 16244 Two Speed Rear Axle / 6.50/9.04 / 17,600 lbs. Rear Axle Capacity.

4 = Ford 7,000 lbs. or 12,000 lbs. Capacity Front Axle without Power Steering.

You may not have to take the whole thing apart. The top cover comes off, and I'm pretty sure your can get a thorough visual tour of the entire transmission with that cover off. You might have a removable panel in the floor of your cab. This is an expanded view of the trans.

The speedometer DRIVEN gear is located at the end of the cable in the trans. The speedometer cable housing has a bracket that attaches to the side of the trans w/a bolt.

The DRIVEN gear attaches to the cable with a clip.

Numbers Dummy.
Any chance you'd have part numbers for the metal coolant pipes on a 63 SD engine in a C850. Mainly the one that goes between the coolant reservoir and the engine, as well as the one between the engine and upper radiator.

The ones for my reservoir is rough and the one for the rad has some weird fitting that looks to have been brazed in by a crosseyed howler monkey.
Sadly both are among the few things from my parts truck. I know I could just use a long flexible hose but I figured I'd see if someone is sitting on an old one anywhere first.

I'm going through the cooling system and so far everything looks good but those two.
