Usually I decode this jazz within 24 hours after it's first posted, but just returned from a two week cruise-tour in Alaska.
F75 = F750 (gas).
F = 391 4V FT engine.
V = Kentucky Truck Assembly Plant.
S15617 = 1973.
176" Wheelbase.
J = Red.
F756 = F750 (gas), 27,500 lbs. GVWR
DF8: DF = Black all Vinyl // 8 = 81B Custom Cab.
Q = Spicer/Dana model 5652 5 speed Direct Manual Transmission.
JQN: JQ = Eaton model 17121 Rear Axle / 7.60-1 / 18,500 lb. capacity // N = Ford 9,000 lb. capacity Front Axle with Power Steering.
27,500 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.
160983:
16 = Philadelphia PA Ford District Sales Office, where the original selling dealer ordered the truck from.
0983 = Domestic Special Order number, the truck was special ordered by the original purchaser, not "bought off the lot."

The odometers of these trucks read to 99,999.9 then return to ZERO.
So, it could have 130,000, 230,000, 330,000 miles or who knows?
