Help identifying twin I-beam casting information
Can someone help me identify a casting number? It from one half of a twin I-beam setup from a 1977 F250. The casting number is D6TA-8EA-15. Is this the right or left I-beam? Also, just so I'm 100% clear, the right I-beam connects to the right side wheel and vise versa? Thanks!

Casting number is right side. The full casting numbers were something like D6TA-3008-EA (RH) and D6TA-3009-EA (LH). Instead of 3008-EA they abbreviated it down to just the 8EA it would seem. The part number for each was generally 2 less than the casting numbers. So D6TZ-3006-A (RH) and D6TZ-3007-A (LH). The lower number of the pair is the right hand one, which bolts to the left side for the pivot and carries the right side spindle and wheel, correct.

Also, can that casting number tell me what the GVWR of the truck it came off of was?
