Hey Morgan,
Since things are slow tonight I am going to make some VERY wild guesses at
most of your numbers....I don't have anything to base this on and am just
having fun.....!!!!
M8D4 = date, M=December, 8=Year (1958), D=Day Shift, 4=Day of the Month
H04719 = Serial Number, H=Plant, 04719=unit number
D400 = Model
129 = Wheel Base
14000 = Rear Axle Capacity in Pounds
5.8 8.1 = Two Speed Rear Ratios
Eaton = Rear Manufacturer (Eaton)
A51350 = Rear Serial Number
4000 = Front Axle Capacity in Pounds
4 SYNC = 4 Speed Synchronized Transmission
N PROC = Transmission Manufacturer (New Process)
420 = Transmission Model Number
170 = Paint Code
4400 = Trim Code (interior)
1300 = Engine code
15000 = GVW
21117194 = Engine Serial Number
REMEMBER I AM GUESSING AT MOST OF THESE....Hope someone that really knows
will fix it for us.
Is this a 1-1/2 ton truck? What make wrecker is on it?
