Tough to get a picture. Slightly faded. I used a magnetfying glass to be sure. It is G1 not 01 . I do not know if a picture will be clear off the number. I can try later.

I tried to take a pic of the door tag. No go. The small numbers no matter how I focus just went fuzzy.

Posting pictures has gotten LOTS easier... if you use what they gave us...

Click the mountain/sun icon in the advanced editor window, you can drag-n-drop from your computer or browse to it/your device as well as insert a URL to externally-hosted images.

I do not see any mountain or sun icon. But I will have to go to the forums later and read how to post pics in my usercp and gallery again. In the past it was just copy and paste or insert. Now they want URL and assortment of other things.
I'm not one of the real computer savvy persons.
Thanks for the help.

I don't need to look at the chart above. The 8.8's have 31 spline axles in trucks. That chart shows all different rear ends from 1/2 ton to 1 ton. In the 8.8 your choices are 29 or 31.

Dead old horse I know...All Trucks were originally equipped with STEP SIDE BEDS, 6 & 8ft.
The Styleside (ford) Fleetside(gm) don't really give a **** what Dodge calls theirs.lol.
Came into being with the 1957 model year. Yes there was the Cameo on earlier chevys, but it was a fiberglass kit attached to the step side bed. Ford did not call the step side a flare side until the introduction of the 1992 model, when it was a model unto its self, known as the flareside and it's little brother the "SPLASH" in 1993, Ford has not produced a true step side since that time. They are all fiberglass or other plastic that will break if I at 270 step on it....same damn thing for that stupid ladder that comes out of the tail gate, can you say $1500.00 for a ladder?

Sorry for not getting back.
I blocked the truck up and spun the wheels. They go opposite of each other. So not the limited slip I was hoping for.
But the G1 code still has me confused and why I cannot find it on line.
Oh well not going to worry about it now. Truck will be getting fixed up down the road.
Thanks for the help guys.

Not true. I don't know when Ford started using the name "Flareside" but it was way before '92. I have an old issue of a magazine from 1977 with a road test of a Ford Flareside pickup. As far as I know Ford never called them "Stepsides"
