The codes are embossed on the Rating Plate. If you can't read it, post a pic of it.

If your truck has 4WD, the front driving axle is a Spicer/Dana 44. Post a pic of the front axle ID tag or list what's stamped on it.

Post a pic of the hidden frame VIN or type it. The VIN has 11 digits with an asterisk on either end.

The VIN will also be printed on the title/registration. 'Course since you live "across the pond" do limeys have titles for vehicles this old?
