What number indicate is was a special order from Utah? I didn't know Ford had any assembly plants in Utah.

When you sent me a "Visitors Message" asking me to decode the Warranty Plate info, I could only give you what I typed.

The front axle code is not listed on the Warranty Plate.
A08 is not the axle code. There should be a space between A and 08 because...
A is the TRANS code (New Process 435) / 08 is the rear AXLE code.
I doubt the front axle ratio is 4.55-1...considering that the rear axle ratio is 3.50-1.
Ford rarely put the 4WD front driving axle code on the Warranty Plate.
When it is there, it's the 3rd digit of the AXLE code.
