The 5 was added in the tire code box.
3L was 3.23 posi with metallic brakes aka 42:13 memo
70-9 is an offbeat axle designator but have seen a couple others coded that way in past few days of searches.
= Performance axle ratio with Posi ( 3.23 .... ok )

64's are a messy bunch of codes from plant to plant

Like you said , too early for M21
Was this the "red ringer" 421cid magazine test car ?

Another L code 3.23 posi with metallic brakes from PMD.
70-3 this time versus 70-9

Read something once about 3.55 was standard with manual at one time in 64 , and 3.23 was standard at another time in 64.
Maybe Wangers car was during the 3.55 period , but he wanted 3.23.
pure guess towards the coding.

The 64 4bbl Auto with 3.55 posi is pretty unique.

The Deadwood SD TriPower car , I can't find anything on option #691.
Looks like it was initially billed as 3L axle - 3.23 with metallic brakes.
Then corrected to something else.

I have a note on a 691 as being for Saf-T-Trak in 1962 I think. (not sure if verified)

But that crossed out 'Positract' on the sheet would be a Chevy item? Maybe they corrected it for Pontiac number?

Well, I guess Fremont did use 'Positract'.



Here is some more ideas: (plus the 62 sheet for the 691)

691 is just going to be a mystery for us.

HD Fan is another one. There has to be a Special Equipment Sheet that no one seems to have.
K08 on Fremont Manifest , 644 on PMD manifest
Can't find a listing for it on any sheet we have.

Thought maybe it could be grouped with HD Radiator
But have a Fremont Manifest for 3.55 axle car with HD Radiator , and no HD Fan listed.
The 3.90 4spd samples list both.
