Help with door codes '99 Superduty

I have a '99 F250 Superduty with a V10 that I would like some help with the door codes, please.

brk is 2
axle is C3
tr is E
spr is TA
9WAAA is C

What I could find of the axle code, it looks like a 4.30L. Is that correct?

The others, I couldn't find.

In the FAQ, at the top of this page, there should be a link for the door codes.
Hold on, I'll grab them.

Cool....thanks.

I am surprised that it has such low gears. My other F250 has 3.55L behind the 6.9 diesel and most of the other F250 Superduties that I looked at had 3.73.

Is it a rarity to find one with a V10 that has such low gears?

No, not really. Most I've seen had the 3.73s or the 4.10s. 4.30 happens now and then too. It really mostly goes by what sort of build it is. Is yours a dually or single?

It is a single wheel rearend. I am just surprised that it has the 4.30 gears.

I am going to try and get a build sheet for it today and see what all I can find.
