3,300 lb. axle with 3.89:1 ratio was standard equipment on the 1964 F100.
The 4.10:1 was optional and only available with the T98A 4-speed transmission.
3.92:1 ratio was not available with the 4-speed.
This is excellent documentation to have.

Hi Ted,
I was only referring to the Standard Equipment on a 1964 F100 per the Salesmans Data Book for that year. Gobs of information in this particular publication.
The Ford 3-speed "Synchro-Silent" transmission was also Standard Equipment.
There were restrictions on what could be ordered as far as Optional Equipment. You couldn't get the 3.92:1 ratio with the 4-speed transmission in any engine choice. Only the 4.10:1 axle came with the 4-speed transmission.
I hope that helps clarify what I was saying. You can see how they had written
"October 31, 1963"
and then below that it says
"ordered
ax Ratio 392 to 1"
but it's been crossed out and on the right side it says
"V8 - 4-speed - 4.10 to 1"
That's because the 3.92:1 was not available with the 4-speed.

No such thing as AXLE code A11.
A would be the TRANS code: Ford type 3.03 3 speed manual all synchromesh trans.
11 = Ford 9" rear axle / 3.70-1 / 3,300 lbs. rear axle capacity.

This is what I'm unclear about. A 3300 pound axle, with the HD springs and overload - with better wheels and tires a standard F100 could carry quite a bit more than half a ton of cargo, no? Maybe not ideal, but it would be doable, no?

I guess. This truck was ordered with 650 16 6 ply Firestone tires and wheels. Wish I still had the wheels but discarded them years ago I would possibly be interested in 4 if anyone knew of any.
