I am confused about the marking on the door.

I understand the CARC and 06 for "CARC last applied in 2006".
What is does the rest mean??

Inquiring minds need to know now that it is sitting in my driveway.

PS: I forgot to mention that the intake scoop for the heater is backwards.
Think that this was done intentionally as a summer-time trick or did someone just goof up?
See pic of left side of truck for backwards scoop.

The heater duct is "backward" to keep rain out. Thats a normal D turbo and single piston air compressor. Dunno about the door markings.

Is there an advantage to having a single over a double in actual use?
Of course double is for double piston I assume which means more air more efficiently.
For us guys on the outside is one better than the other for repairing or rebuilding down the road?
#2 Can anyone tell which engine this is? I am assuming that the serial number is what stamped at the bottom of the plate. It sounds like a cat when idling but I have no idea which one it is. Any way to tell from other castings or bolt-on parts to see if it is
a -1, or, -1C, or -1D?

PS: Thanks for the comments but I did not want to go down in a flame ball for not having some photographic evidence of the rescue mission.

Wondered what that valve sticking out of the side of the oil filter housing, I saw one on dm22630's trucks and had no clue.

The air scoop for the heater is backwards. They may have reversed it to keep the rain out, but this is not the way it was supposed to be installed. Nice looking truck...
