Help needed with rear axle #'s

Okay after 1/2 bottle of KRUD Kutter, something from under the counter I found, I have managed to read the #'s off the tag on the rear axle, there were also some interesting #'s on the axle's center housing, these are cast/raised on part. Here in Arizona we have some pretty huge ants, while I was under truck some of these started getting pretty mad and started running around crazy like they were gettting ready to attack, KRUD Kuttter worked on them too.

Tag's top line: 3 73 D8TA VA
Tag's Bottom: 603896-3

Housing Rear left side: 15177
Housing Rear Right top: C34835
Housing Bottom: 70

The main use of vehicle for now is occasional highway use, no campering or trailering for now.

as always thanks for the great input.
