Thumbs up Decoding advise
Hi

Could someone kindly decode the following for me.

Body DHM (obviously cab and half)

What does this all mean?

Regards

Hi and thanks.

Its definitely "axle G3", but could be a mis-print?

It also says GVWR 8600 lb

thanks
Gary

The shop manual where I obtained the code explanations is for 1983 trucks. A later manual may have a "G3" axle.
