C = 330 medium duty 2V engine
J43570 = built June of 1970
Trans 4 = Clark 5 sp model 280VO
Axle F34C = 6000# front axle and 2 sp Eaton model #15201 rear axle. With ratios 6.33/8.81.
D.S.O. is the district where the truck was originally ordered from. 17 is the state of Washington.

Thank ya very much, exactly what I needed. Was hoping I got lucky and found the overdrive. I appreciate you telling me the info. As far as the individual codes, is it just information you've learned over time, or is there a book or website that has codes listed

Some I got off fordification. The "other guys". But they only list for F100/350. The rest I got out of my Ford microfische machine. I am a retired Ford parts man of 41 years. And have my own ancient machine.
