Think I can barely read something like 1 9078-, but not the rest.
Have to clean a lil bit more and see if I can read the rest.

That number is NOT a Ford number. It was the stock number of the tube's manufacturer. It appears on some drive shafts because it was stamped about every 6 feet and drive shafts were around 50 1/2 inches. The stamping caused me concerns when I saw it on a drive shaft back in the late 80's as it did not conform to the Ford Motor Company part numbering system.

Hi Jim,

Yes, I assumed these numbers weren't issued by Ford itself, because they are completely different format as the common Ford numbers, and also because I followed the tread and someone did mention that.
