SAGINAW 4x4 ps gearbox numbers question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm looking at two SAGINAW 4x4 ps gearboxes which, I've been told, were from 72 trucks. Both stamped 5686815 on the barrel end. The other main casting numbers, which are located below the cover plates, are different... 7802644 and 7802644L.

If found the following numbers in a parts catalog...

SAGINAW
MODEL SERIES
959 7802644
7802644
7802644
7802644L
7802644L
7802644L 7802644L

... but no definition as to the difference. I'm trying to convince myself that the L is for large and might be for 3/4 or 1 ton trucks.

Anyone confirm or put to rest my guessing? thanks, clay
