133 - Wheelbase
MX - M - White. X - ? Check again, I don't recall a X paint code.
F101 - F100 w/ 4800 GVW
234 - check first two digits again. Should be alphabetical, not numbers. Last one is 4 which stands for Styleside pickup.
G - automatic transmission
09J - 09 = 3.25 Ford 2900 axle, J = w/ power steering. Although 09 is incorrect for '79. Are you sure?
04700? - GVW
52 - Dallas, TX

The parts truck I have is a 1974. And I checked and the codes I posted are right. I want to ask this b/c I haven't looked under a long wheelbase for awhile. But I didn't know they had a 2 piece drive shaft in them or do they. To me the carrier bearing would be a big weak point if pulling something heavy. Anyway sorry for not saying this was for a 74 model truck. The 79 I have under my post is the truck I'm building. Thanks Scott

Seems to me the "G" (automatic transmission) is the weak spot.
What about the first line?
F10 "Y" "M" or "H" by any chance? ;)

What about the axle tag?

That chip looks like beige or tan.
The LIGHT Grabber Blue color chip also comes across as way too dark.
This is the typical problem when copying brochure color chips then posting them in forums.
The same thing occurs when using a digital camera.
All the chips, no matter what the color is, appear darker than original.
I know you are trying to be helpful, but by posting those chips, you are going to confuse some members as to what the true colors really are.

What all those color chips are going to do....is confuse people.
Light Grabber Blue is a very light shade of blue, comes across as dark blue in the chip.
All the various Grabber colors were introduced in 1971...on Mavericks.

This is of Course, if the tint of the picture above is correct, as well as my monitor settings. To many variables to be 100% accurate without the paint code.
