    On my 64 the vehicle build information tag (near the VIN tag) has all of the paint worn off.
    So All I have is a bunch of numbers..what do the mean?
    Top row:  A100   90 (those are simple)
    Sec Row:  3000   391 (axle gear?)   CHRY  RA36
    Third Row  :  2200   3 SYN (3speed manual ?)  CHRY  A903
    Forth Row          88   3600      940      1085
    Fifth Row                 4600     91207213

    So if anyone can tell me what these numbers and code mean, I will say thank you in advance.
    My FSM does not give me this information.   Thanks to all

    Thanks, OK were there 3 different front axle weights in 1964 ? How did they differ ?

    I only knew of two front axles, 2200 and 2500
    the 2500 usually had 11" front brake shoes and some, not all had a different pin diameter for king pins.
    the kits you get now might have nylon/nylock bushings in them, toss them back. ask for brass bushings. and when my set goes in I will ask the machinist to ream them to .002 - .003 clearance. they need some for grease otherwise in tight areas they snug up with heat.
