Welcome aboard and good luck on your purchase.. The air shift seems to be more desirable. I had seen that truck add also, looks like it would be a good starter rig.
I had a problem with the plug on the water pump. I ended up heating the pump housing around the plug then used an impact to back out the plug. The top plug i ended up using a cheater bar. A little kroil wouldn't be a bad thing to put on and let soak for a day before hand.

The other numbers are part numbers and month/ year of manufacture.
If you still have the cover off of the rear end, you can look on the ring gear for some numbers. The ones your looking for would be something like 11:41. the 11 stands for the number of teeth on the pinion and the 41 stands for the teeth on the ring gear. divide the second # by the first and...
Both axles have an "open" differential. No mechanical device in the differential to transmit power to the wheel with the most traction. If you have a posi or locker in the front axle you'd notice at the least "torque steer" when in 4 wheel drive in the front axle. worst case would be that the...
