Hi fellows,
I'm just , soonish, going to start the rebuild,tuf up of my 727. Its out of the car on the bench.
I checked out the gearbox numbers , and it comes back as a "1976 truck heavy duty long"
Anyone know what the heavy duty could entail, what might I find is different inside ?

numbers are PK 3898864 5211 7989
Thanks
Johnny
