57 Panel ID Data Decoding

I just purchased a 57 Panel truck. It's 4x4, I believe possibly a Napco conversion. I was looking for some help on the ID decoding. I get most of it but have questions about the trans and axle code and what the D.S.O code is.

110 T 29 G F 02
05000 145 4100 2042

As far as the 4x4, it has a Spicer model 23 transfer case and a Dana 44 with passenger side differential. I found a Napco conversion emblem in the glove box. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Tom

Hi Tom,

110 ........... 110" wheelbase
T ................."Woodsmoke Gray" color
29G ............truck was built on July 29th, 1956
F ................ 4 speed synchronized transmission
02 ............. 3.89 rear axle gear ratio
0500 ......... 5,000 lbs. GVW
145 ........... 145 Certified Net Horsepower
4100 ......... @ 4,100 rpm
2042...........District Special Order, but not sure what it de-codes to.

I hope this helps.
Sorry, I don't know much about the Napco conversions. Sounds like a really nice truck!
Is the Spicer 23 transfer case one speed?
