Question on Serial Numbers
Quite a few times now I've gone to order parts and the site will specify, "From Serial G90,001" or something similar. What doesn't make sense to me however, is that the end of my trucks serial number is "C8558". That's completely missing a digit according to the parts site. This has occurred on RockAuto as well as AutoZone and I'm never quite sure what to think.
What gives?

Typically it is discerning the F250 4x4 77 model year since the "78" model actually began in 77.5 or after Y20,000 serial number
77.5 or Y20,000 and lower = "Highboy"
77.5 Y20,001 = "Lowboy"?
77.5 or Y20,000 and lower = "Highboy"
77.5 Y20,001 = "Lowboy"?

the 79 model year was DC0,001-FK9,000.
And yes, the highboy break was Y20,001. Before is highboy, from is lowboy.

I stopped using LMC truck parts because they made it soooo confusing to order, by using truck serial/VIN. My (titled as 78) truck is a complete mashup of parts from 73 thru 79, so it was nearly impossible to order the correct parts that way unless it was something common standard, like door seals, etc.
Would always get someone's grandmother babysitting on the phone who knew nothing about these trucks, and the answer would always be the same: "well, if ya don't don't know the serial number, I caint help ya."
So, started ordering from JFB and DC, have gotten the correct part every time.

Yeah this is for a pinion seal, there's so many axle and year options I'm just hoping for the best from rockauto. I think I got it right. I've seen it when trying to order other parts but don't remember what.
