Dad’s 1960

My dad has been letting a custom cab sit and I hope that I can encourage him to fix it up. Here is the data tag, anyone able to decode it?

thanks!

Transmission not a T98? Interesting. What does the axle code 0A mean (9” with 3.25 gears)? Thank you for the help!

It's neat that it's a family project, get your dad working on it.
There have been problems with the FTE site today, posts not showing up, duplicates and what not, hopefully it's fixed soon. I'll see if I can delete your extras, hasn't always worked today.
