Online reference explaining MOPAR group codes for 1930s-1970s vehicles?

Is there an online reference for MOPAR group codes for 1930s-1980s vehicles? Something that would help me correlate codes like 8.010, 23.050, 12.075 to an English description?

I'd say this is sysadmin-related, as it's related to MFA.

Is it possible to request a particular phone number if you know it is not in use? I'm trying to help a client reclaim a particular number, so they can receive a code to reclaim an email account, which will help them reclaim another web account... The 2FA recovery wants to send a code to a number they haven't had for a decade.

Is there a way I can reclaim this particular number? They'd be happy to buy a month of service to get the code.

My client thought the number was on US Cellular, which is now merging with T-Mobile. I've tried calling both company's national customer service as well as the local offices and no one can even tell me if the number is in service or with which carrier. Both said that a customer can reclaim a cancelled number within a month or so after cancelling, but if I signed up for service today, I can't request a particular number.

If I text the number, it doesn't bounce. If I call it, it says it's not in service, with an error message recording that varies, like MA15356, KS17156, NY23856...

As I understand it, unused numbers are in a pool for a particular carrier, but I don't know how to determine which carrier.

Yes, I can also see the flip side of this - that for this very reason of MFA and account security, it's not a good idea. On the other hand, MFA is a bit flimsy as a security model because unused numbers do go into a pool and someone will get them eventually.
