For NumberDummy
This question is aimed specifically at NumberDummy, although anyone else can chime in if they know. The VIN on my truck is F10AK8242XXX. What does this tell me? Can you tell me where to go to decode this if you don't have time to do it yourself?
Thanks in advance. If I could email you, I would.

Ford 9 inch, prolly a 3.70-1 or 3.89-1 ratio. Post the rest of the numbers off the plate..it can be decoded here.

The door plate is missing. I had to go to the frame on the passenger side to find the VIN. Almost got my vehicle impounded for that little snafu.

For the rear end info, look at the 10 bolts that holds the pumpkin (carrier) to the housing. The ID tag is at roughly 4 or 5 o'clock as you are looking at the front of the rear end. (The tag could be missing too, again that's nothing new).

I have a 44. Does anyone know the stock gearing of those rearends? Associated with that, what would a good gearing be for a 240/3 spd to increase the trucks drivability at around 55 mph? The motor is currently running pretty high RPM at those speeds and I would like to run those down a bit.
Thanks
Justin

6T6Shorty: you have a Spicer what? No Spicer 38's used in 1961/72 Ford trucks. I never heard of, or have seen a Spicer 38 in any Ford truck.
