I found it...interesting...have you had your door tag decoded ??? what other documents have you found in/on the truck ??? Build sheet, carb tag, engine tag, rear end tag, seat buck tag(attached to seat frame..seen when seat folded fwd)
PM or email info...reason i ask is I found a build sheet among other things in a truck yesterday...Im always trying to figure out some of the codes and such on our trucks...
Nice truck you have...black isnt a common color to see on these trucks nowadays in original condition.

Yes has been decoded by #Dummy ( but think his handle is misleading lol)
I will look for the other tags and for a build sheet, Carb tag is missing though.
This is all making me more excited to get at this truck.
Thanks guys for all the help and interest!!
~~~V~~
p.s. the 09 code you say is a non limited slip..does that mean it is what I call positraction rear end????
