Any of you guys know how to decode these things?
Example:
it gives me:
Engine
37-38
62
So since it's a RM23H Road Runner I looked up E62 and it's a 383 HP, but what does 37-38 mean?
But, when I look at the Sure Grip option:
Sure Grip
408
8
I look at 408 which specifies Sure Grip, but what does 8 mean?
Or this:
Trans
39
3
How do you decode this? It's in line after Engine (32-34 37-38 39?) What do those numbers in numerical order refer to? What does the stamped number, in this case 3, refer to.
It appears under the part/option/trim whatever, there are numbers increasing in numerical order, ex. 509 510 511 512 514 515 516 etc in these cases it's lighting options. What do those mean throughout the build sheet? What does the number below it thats stamped/typed mean?
Some are in the 100's, some in the 10's, like 52 53 54 55 56 etc.
Also, at the bottom of the sheet it has this:
Engine Trans Axle Pinion Wheel etc etc
760 100 244 32 16B
How do you decode these also?
I have tons of questions on this but maybe learning these will help. Thanks for any help

Ok, I think I figured this out:
ex:
Radio
42
1
This would mean look in the 42? series and find 421 to see what kind of radio.
HD Brakes
47
8
This would be look in the 47? series and find 478
Is that correct?
The triple digits, 509, 511, 512 etc you look up just by thoe numbers, but I still don't understand what the typed number below it is.
Ex:
Glove Box Lock
509
9
I look up 509, it says glove box lock, ok, but what does the 9 specify? Maybe color?
Ex:
Turn Ind/Fender hood
517
7
Again, I look up 517, see the turn signal option but what does the 7 under it mean? Surely it isn't color here, how could it for a turn signal?
Another thing that's weird:
Tires
43-44
46
So this tells me look up 46 and I find F70-14 Red Streak Tires
But, it also has this:
Hub Caps/Wheel Covers
58
1
So I look up 581 and find 15 inch deluxe wheel cover.
How can there be a 15" wheel cover on tires specified for 14" wheels???
I'm still clueless on the bottom of the sheet with the codes I listen in my original post
Here's some more at the bottom:
Wheel Covers
10
Torsion Bar
Left Right
779 778
Rear Springs
Left Right
212 212
Clutch and Brake Bracket
25
Front Brake
25
Steering Wheel and Horn Ring
12F
Steering Column
35F
Stub Frame
16
Engine Fan
24
Engine Fan Spacer
32
Rad. Inlet Hose
01
Rad Outlet Hose
?1
Carburetor
25
Carb Choke
45
F G H J K L M N
2|3 (this is under the N, rest are blank)
Vac. Fit
25
Sway Bar
5
Rad.
43
P Q R S T
under Q is Cap Idle Label with 44 under it
Under R is 5|4
Thanks for any and all help.

I look up 509, it says glove box lock, ok, but what does the 9 specify? Maybe color? That is a 'yes' or 'no' option. If the last number appears in the box, the car got the option. If the 9 did not appear in the box, the car did not come with the option
Ex:
Turn Ind/Fender hood
517
7
Again, I look up 517, see the turn signal option but what does the 7 under it mean? Surely it isn't color here, how could it for a turn signal? Same thing. It's a 'yes' or 'no' option.

How can there be a 15" wheel cover on tires specified for 14" wheels??? Code 581 only tells you Deluxe wheel covers, it does not tell you the size.
I'm still clueless on the bottom of the sheet with the codes I listen in my original post
Here's some more at the bottom:
Wheel Covers
10 The last two digits of the part number for that specific entry. In this case, 10 means Part number 2823010
Torsion Bar
Left Right
779 778 last three digits of part number. One for left and one for right
Rear Springs
Left Right
212 212 last three digits of part number. One for left and one for right
