Really?? Very interesting. Mine is just one year newer than yours. Now you have me wondering which style I have. I really need to clean off my data tag and post the info here.
Mine as well. I'm going to hit it with a tiny wire wheel on my Dremel tool. The brush is soft enough that it shouldn't eat the embossed characters on the tag.
Love the photos, thanks. I'm a visual learner so those are REALLY helpful. FWIW, I looked at the Lube Order for the M809's and it says:
"universal Joint and
Steering Knuckle Bearing
(See note 7) (LV-L,M) (0)"
Does Iceman's photos show whether he has the CV ball type or U-joint type? I have a '71 and my steering axle looks like his. Is it possible that some 809's got one type of axle and other trucks got the other type?
