Decoding rear axle tag

This is what I found using the fordification website. Look accurate to you?

V127A = axle code
L55 = 3.55 LS
10 2 = 10.25" pinion
6B26 = built 02/26/1986

Reno in Central Texas, 86 F250 XLT Lariat eclb 2wd 6.9, plus 2 Bricknoses, 1 Aeronose that's getting a Bullnose front clip, and parts trucks. Busy lads, father and sons wrenchers.

Having trouble posting images tonight. So here is the url to the pic on FTE

https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.ford-trucks.com-vbulletin/2000x1081/difftag_2d7fb88290446ea77378c54bb32cd48a66275120.jpg

Our image uploader did not like that url either.

You can't link a pic on the FTE servers.
Once you post it there it's theirs.

You can upload it to nabble by choosing a file on your device and selecting 'large size', or you can link it from your photo host (Apple or Google photos, Flickr, etc..) IF you select it as 'public'.

Jim,
Lil'Red is a '87 F250 HD, 4.10's, 1356 4x4, Zf-5, 3G, PMGR, Saginaw PS, desmogged with a Holley 80508 and Performer intake.
Too much other stuff to mention.

Right, Jim. FTE doesn't share like other sites do.

Anyway, have you tried the decoder here? Documentation/Specifications/Rear Axles. Or Documentation/Driveline/Axles & Differentials.

But I do think you have it figured out.

I had uploaded several images from my computer over the last week, but tonight it's just silent fail.

So, y'all couldn't see that image here? But I could. Must be a valid token on my machine.

No, we couldn't see the pic, just the link.
