Welcome to FTE! You get your own thread for a complete decode.

U90 = LT900 diesel, tandem rear axles

J = Detroit model 6-71 426 CID in-line six cylinder two stroke supercharged diesel engine.

V = Kentucky Truck Plant

HA7293 = 1980 numerical series

9A = white

204 = 204 inch wheelbase

U900 = LT900 diesel, 43,000 lbs GVWR. This conflicts with the listed GVWR of 50,000, but your truck was a special order which did include the heavier axles etc for the greater GVWR (see axle ratings below)

DZ8 = I do not have upholstery info, but this looks like a standard cab.

FL = Fuller model RT-09513 13 speed overdrive transmission

D8S
D8 = Rockwell (Timken) model SQHD rear axles, 38,000 lbs capacity, 4.88 ratio, with Hendrickson suspension

S = Rockwell (Timken) model FH-901 front axle, 16,000 lbs capacity, with power steering

212881

21 = Atlanta District Sales Office
2881 = Special Order Number
