Thank you so for decoding that, the truck appears to have a splitter on the transmission. Is the splicer a 5 speed with HI LO for each gear or is the transmission an 8 speed? Here is the splitter on the gear shift
and dual axle
That switch on the shifter looks like a two speed axle shifter. There are two speed tandem axles, but I'm not familiar with them. Search by "eaton two speed tandem axle" you find all kinds of axles, but trying to figure out what would have been available for your truck would be a real trick.
Your truck was a special order with no rear axle code. However, the axles should have identifying number/letter combos cast into the carrier, or stamped into the carrier and on a tag welded to the driver side front of the axle housing. Be careful cleaning it off so you don't scratch out what's on it.
You should be able to see if there is a second transmission behind the main also.
The Spicer 6352 is just a direct 5 speed, otherwise it would be described differently in the MPC.
