I can neither confirm nor deny the accuracy of those listings.

As shown below, trucks manufactured before 7/16/79, which would have been very early 1980 trucks, got D7AZ 7D411-A. But according to the 1994 MPC, trucks after that got F0TZ 7D411-A. But that's an impossibility as that part didn't come out until 1990 given the "F0" in the prefix, which is 10 years after some of the trucks were made.

So there had to have been another part, and it was surely this one, meaning E0TZ 7D411-A, since it would have come out for the 1980 trucks, hence the "E0". But the later version of the MPC has erased that knowledge, although if we REALLY cared I'd climb to the Microfiche Tower and figure it out on my '82 MPC.

Amen, brother! I just decorated the tree - and have glitter all over me from some ornament. Still gotta clean the shop. But at least Big Blue is ready - and they want a ride.
