No Scheiss Sherlock!
I asked the VIN question to see of VIN's first three digits matched the truck.
Dennis, do you know I have red hair? That should explain some of the "passion."
Being a first class SOB explains the rest.
Parts catalog (you have one too, Dennis) states 73 = 5.05M rear axle capacity, NOT 4500. Section 40, page 6...take a look.

Bill, the dso code is blank where numbers should be. I spent another hour trying to take rust off the axle tube to find the numbers but no luck. I found in the glove box a waranty identification card on the bottom of the card it has a metal tag with the these numbers: F26sex81409 N K 13
F260 4 24J G
I know the first set is the vin after that i'm clueless

I found the decoder and it said it was a 4.10 60 rated at 5300. I do not get why the ratings on the door are different.

In other words, the warranty card may be for something else. Verify VIN on card with your registration...see if it matches door tag!
Out of place G code could refer to transmission. G is the code for a C6.
Truck was prolly built on the first shift on a Monday. Workers were hung over after heavy night of drinking. Local high school team finally won a game of chinese checkers after 80 years of trying.
