Default 66 Mustang Help Decoding Rear Axle Tag

Just bought a 66 GT and am trying to find all of the tag and part numbers to see what is numbers matching. Can anyone help me decode my rear axle tag, i can figure out that it has 3.00 open gears, but thats about it. An help would greatly be appreciated.
tag reads:

WCZ-F
3 00 5H8 9 31

Thanks Again

Hello. WCZ-F means it's a 28 spline removable carrier for an 8 inch rear end. The 3.00:1 gear ratio is exactly what you thought it was. 5H8 is August 8, 1965. That 931 thing is the plant code, which doesn't really mean much once the rear end goes into car. Hope that helps.

Hi again. Glad I could help. And, thank you. Please feel free to leave comments at the blog. If there's anything in particular that you are wondering about on these cars, and I have a little information on the subject, I'll post it.
