Trying to make sense of these Axle tube markings
pwrcat4000:
confirmed 2PJ = 2.41 standard (open)
Wallington:
Date and Open confirm rear swap in a 79 TA. Look around under the rear fenders for any panel repairs since swapping to an open 2.41 wouldn't likely be by choice, rather just one they had or at short notice perhaps.
The unreadable bit is likely something similar to Posi-traction Rear axle.

Well you buy something out of a junk yard maybe someone took the original and swapped this one in
Wallington:
The date seems to work, have you checked if in the internals match? Perhaps the J/U is a mis-stamp. And based on the fact that in '79 all TA's still came with Posi diff, others will confirm if that was no longer the case like in the final years.
The buildsheet says 2PU rear ratio up in box 11 for Axle, that would be the preferred option and make it correct. The stamp does look like a J, under the red, rather than an angled-U strike.

How do you know if it is a 2.41 just by looking at the code etched into the gears?
