Front end codes

[dancrowley]

I am looking a 1988 f-350 7.3 4x4 with a 5 speed OD trans. The vin # is 1FTHF36MKNA37444. It has a 4600# front axle' and a 6084# rear axle but I can't tell what the ratio is. The numbers on the bottom of the door tag are;

133 F361 BD4 C 35 48F

The engine seams to run ok and the guy says the trans is good. I can get the whole truck for $1200.
Any idea's

Sounds like a good deal.
I believe that the "35" on the door tag is the axle code. That would be a 4.10 ratio

133 = 133 inch wheelbase. Regular cab? I think 155 is for a crew.
BD4 is the body type
C = ZF5-S42 tranny
35 = open 4.10 ratio
48F is the spring code
