71 is when you started seeing 8.25s light duty in C bodies, mostly small block furies, but a 73 4 barrel 400 car i would expect to see an 8.75, especially considering its a DK41. Should have 3.23 489 case, maybe even a suregrip.
74 is when you started seeing 8.25 and 9.25 as commonplace in C bodies

On the build sheet under Axle the code is 5 1. Does that tell anything? I'm not good at numbers!

Inside the drivers door in an Arizona State University asset tag. So at some point it belonged to the college. I'm wondering if it was a campus police car? That's only a guess but it's all I got.

With your 73 being a 400, would the gear ratio be 3:21 with the tag, not the common 3:23 in the 8:75, I mean don't the 9:25 and 9:75 look the same , The white books don't have any c body axle codes.

Thanks! Now I have no idea why there's a spare rear end in the trunk!

Excellent, I have D34 being a 904 automatic, didn't think that was possible with the big motor?

D34 on a 73 tag, whether it's a /6 or 440 HP simply means automatic transmission regardless of the actual unit used. We have to look at other documentation to tell us WHICH automatic transmission was used.
good buy man. good bones - that should spruce up nice if thats your plane for it. congrats. i got one of these. u code, wsp statie, overdue for a year running around/stretching its legs.
