Hey All

I have a 1972 W200 Dodge pickup and I want to rebuild the front axel. I have located the BOM number but doing a search online I am not able to find any specific information about that number. I did find links that post BOM numbers but I am unable to match my specific number within those sites.
My understanding is that once I decode the number it will give me all information I need to help find parts for it. I have posted the pics but if anyone can point me in the right direction to help decode these numbers it would be much appreciated!

Dana 44?

There used to be a 'decoder' that you feed it your numbers, and it tells you what all it is.... That site seems to be defunct now though.

 

I has seen old posts about this decoder but you are probably right. I have not been able to find such a function.

 

It's a Dana 44 with a 4.09 gear according to the bom. Download a copy of the dana pdf here.

 

You nailed it! Thank you so very much for this info! Everything I was finding online did not have these numbers for some reason so thank you once again!

 

Considering the truck was built over 1/2 a Century ago, that isn't surprising. I haven't seen that Industrial Turquoise paint in decades! I had a 1970 D100 back in the mid 70's that color. Unfortunately, your 1972 is like my 1997 Dakota. Some parts are earlier years and some are later.

 

Didn't somebody write a song about that?
