RPO codes???

Hi All! New member here. I have a 87 F250, 460ci, manual trans 4X4. I am trying to find out what type of axles (front) I have. In the Vehicle Certification Label on the door pillar, under axle it has a 39 which I think should be the code for both of the axles. Can anyone tell me where I might find a list of these RPO or Build Sheet codes so I can determine what I have.

Thanks in advance for any help anyone might be able to give.

Sam

If you look on the sticker that you got the axle code from it will tell you what all your truck is equipt with , that & the VIN will give you all the info you need . If you purchase a repair manual from Helm it explains all the VIN & vehicle info codes .

Thanks. That's where I went wrong, I have a Helm manual for my car but just a Hayne's manual for my truck.

I appreciate your replys.......Sam
