Default Ford model codes

The deeper you go into the Ford model codes the more confosing it becomes.
I was thinking about the letter D in the code C11ADF and wonder if it comes the model D used for the 15 CWT light truck , a model between the model C 10 CWT (1/2 ton) and model Y one ton..
One question, Does the C11ADF use the 15 cwt axle with full floating hubs amd a single join / partition in the rear axle (like the bigger truck diff).
.
The 15 CWT axle uses 4.1 ratio gears while the 1 ton axle uses a lower gear ratio and bigger brakes.

John,
I seem to remember the C11ADF uses the F8 8cwt rear axle, and the C11AS used the normal civil running gear, but I am sure Ian McCallum can tell you more.

Regarding the "D"....I am sure this has come up on the forum before regarding a 4x4 chassis Indian Pattern (?)

Hello John,

Confusing it is! See Ford model designation for a pretty complete list.
