That’s just the suppliers number. Should be 19078. There are several discussions and threads on it along with pics of people’s restored drive shafts in the members section. Did you soak it to see the stripe colors?

That's the stock number of the tube's manufacturer and not a Ford part number. It was marked about every 8 feet or so, and as a result some drive shafts have the stock number marking, others do not.

As mentioned the numbers will not help determine if the driveline is correct for your car. Just the steel tubing stocking number from the providing company. Date might eliminate it from being original to your car thought it might still fit and be made correct (after removing the numbers) for your car. Length and other features will help determine if its the right style/version.

If you do a search you'll find the other threads
