Hello guys/gals. I have a '70 F-700 Dump that I use for farm duties. The brakes were never "road worthy" but now they're completely out. I surfed around a bit and saw a couple guys that can decode the brake type via the VIN. My VIN is F70EV(I think)Y50817, Under that is....

WB = 158
Color = T
Type/GVW = F704
Body = 418
Tran = 0
Axel = 53M

Under that, On the bottom left of the tag is 24000. On the bottom right is 211355.



I need to replace the Master Cyl. for sure, But I can't find one. It has a casting # on the side........FE 207.

I THINK a NAPA PN NMC M78314 is the correct one, But would like one of you guys to check me out. Here's a link to the MC.


NAPA AUTO PARTS



I've copied the relevant bleed procedures and will bleed them CORRECTLY this time


Thanks in advance.

Thanks ND. I'll check the registration and get back to you. Is there any other place the to look on the truck for the VIN?
