The Build Date Code

Starts with the Julian date (day of the year) on which 1982 production started.  The build date 
code continues with the Julian date until December 31 (365).  The sequence then continues 
until the end of the 1985 production.  EXAMPLE: April 20, 1982 would translate to a build date 
code of 475.
Note:
 
In addition to the transmission production code number, all passenger cars have a portion 
of the vehicle identification number stamped on the transmission.  The condensed vehicle 
identification number consists of the division identification number, model year, assembly 
plant designation and vehicle build sequence number.

The Rear Axle Code

Is a two letter code stamped on the front passenger side of the axle tube or on an identification

tag attached to the carrier cover.  It identifies that axle code ratio and if the axle is equipped 

with the Safe-T-Track option.
