VIN Plate Decoding...

I got a 1966 Ford F100 and i have already decoded the main VIN on it. My question is on the plate where under Trans there is a C. And under where it says Axle there is a 17. Any help would be much appreciated.

C = Ford Type 3.03 3 Speed Manual all Syncromesh Transmission.

17 = Ford 9" Rear Axle / 3.25-1 / non Limited Slip / 3,300 lbs. Rear Axle Capacity.
