None of my data books list a 74HC4004 either. Does it even exist?

The 74HC4040 exists, and as expected it's a 12 bit ripple counter.

I haev never thrown out a databook. Darn it, I've got an Ericson databook 
for Dekatrons and Trochotroncs, etc. And a valve databook from the 1940s 
that has printed on almost every page 'Supply of this device cannot be 
guaranteed due to the current situatio' (that is, of course, WW2).
