Vin plate info

What can you guys tell me about this truck from the Vin. Look like '74 302 3 speed med line metallic but owners claims '73 auto from factory. What axle and trim?

Thanks,
Joe

What are the trim and axle codes?

 

[Joe473]

It looks like G4 on the body and 89J for the axle. Pic isnt the greatest. It looks like it may have been a stripe delete auto trans power steering ranger. Trying to see if trim codes and everything agree with that.

G4 is for Avocado Ranger cloth buckets and rear seat, B9J is 3.50 gears, 3300lb axle and power steering.

Thank you! Can you see the trans code? Do you see C or G? What are the chances its factory auto? It has small brake pedal and looks like a manual shifter on column retrofitted to c4.

I can't really tell in that pic for sure, looks more like a C.

Get a full high-res shot of that decal as well! Just for the archives.
Bet there aren't many that have survived.

Adjusted it for ya....

Joe473 - A 74 would have the smaller Brake Pedal anyway.

The Larger Brake Pedal was factory on a 76-77 with Power Brakes only. But the larger pedal can be installed on earlier models.

I thought that decal was interesting too! I'm trying to work out a time to go see it and I'll get a pic.

Thanks good to know. Still thinking this was a 3 on the tree from factory.
