1FDNK77N9FVA65799

1FD = FoMoCo USA, Incomplete Vehicle.

N = Class 6 Gross Vehicle Weight Rating range: 19,500-26,000 lbs.

K77 = F700 with 4WD option and diesel engine.

N = Detroit model DDA 990N or 990T 8.2L (501 cid) V8 diesel engine.

9 = Check digit, FoMoCo use only.

F = 1985.

V = Kentucky Truck Assembly Plant.

A65799 = Numerical Sequence of Assembly (the trucks specific serial number).

There are too many variations to estimate the weight (I wouldn't have a clue, regardless). You'll have to take it to a truck scale.

Ford truck parts catalogs do not list cab/fender and et cetera specs. These can vary wildly from one truck to another considering the gazillion possible variations.

 

Thanks for the quick response. I'm probably going to go ahead and get it.

 

I have an old F700 vin: F70EVGC7485. Call me crazy but would it even make since to put the motor in an 85 F150. I'm not sure what year it is but its been sitting a while. Not locked up but I have no other info on the truck. A vin decode would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for any help.

 

Welcome to FTE

F70 = F700.

E = ?

V = Kentucky Truck Assembly Plant.

GC7485 = ?

GC7485 decodes to 1980, but there is no E engine code for 1980.

E = If it has a gas engine with 5 valve cover bolt holes per side, it's a 361 FT engine that was not available after 1978.

Verify the serial number, because it cannot begin with GC / Or verify if the engine code is an E.

 

hi i am new at this so i am not sure i am doing it right... we just bought a F700 truck and can not figure out the vin number. it is f708vcd9442. there were other numbers below it. wb=158 Color=W type/gvw=f703 Trans=M Axle=e2h. can you help me?

 

Welcome to FTE

F70 = F700 (gas).

8 = 1978: This is a diesel engine code only, but your truck has a gas engine. Verify the code and is it an I-6 or a V8?

V = Kentucky Truck Assembly Plant.

CD9442 = 1978.

158" Wheelbase.

W = Ember Metallic.

F703 = F700 (gas), 23,000 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.

M = Clark model 285V 5 Speed Direct Manual Transmission.

* When there is no COLOR code, the vehicle is painted a non standard color per the original purchasers request. When this occurres, the vehicle is a Domestic Special Order.

It was not uncommon for trucks that were ordered from the US to be assembled in Canada. Decoded another VIN/Warranty Plate yesterday for an F100: Ordered from Atlanta, assembed in Canada.

Same jazz applies today: Oakville assembles the Edge, Flex and the rebadged Lincoln versions.

Compare the VIN on the Warranty Plate (located on the left door face below the latch) with the VIN on the registration to see if they match.

Peeps replaced damaged left doors with used doors. 99.9% of the time, they failed to install the original Warranty Plate on the replaced door.

If the VIN's don't match, probably none of the following decodes are correct.

F70 = F700 (gas).

F = 391 4V FT engine.

V = Kentucky Truck Assembly Plant.

B10109 = 1976.

212" Wheelbase.

KT: K = Bright Red / T = Candyapple Red.

Type GVW (MODEL) code omitted.

BODY E2B: E could be a red interior, but there is no E2, and the B should be an 8.

2 = Clark model 282V 5 Speed Direct.
