Where did you find the data plate? What's the location on the van?


Looks like:


P35 = P-350 Parcel delivery
D = I6 223 inline engine
6 = 1956
U = Louisville KY Plant
45948 = Production #

Does it list a code for the axle or transmission somewhere on the plate also?

Yeah I think in the picture it shows the 5.14 axle code. I can take a better picture of the rest of the tag. It has 17" 6 lug wheels the rear axle looks like a floater style. It is a column shift man Trans. 8000 gvwr was another portion of the tag.

Your wheels are widow makers having the Firestone RH-5° outer rim. You'll find Budd part number 68600 on them somewhere. Handle with care, and best to let the air out before messing with them. Stu
