Hi all I am looking for a decode on my grain truck. The vin is F70EVR54727 and it looks like the engine is original but not sure what it is. Thanks in advance TB

Welcome to FTE

F70 = F700 (gas).

E = 361 2V FT engine.

R54727 = 1973.

vin decoding
 

I have a similar problem, It is a 1979 F700 Dump truck with a vin # of F70AVEA7948. I am trying to find out what size the motor is. It has a V8 with a 2bb Holly carb made for Motocraft that I would like to find a rebuild kit for. thanks for any help...

Welcome to FTE

F70 = F700

A = 370 2V

V = Kentucky Truck Assembly Plant

EA7948 = 1979.
----------------
D9PZ9A586AD .. Carburetor Kit (Motorcraft CT1278) / Obsolete

Fits all 1979 trucks w/a 370 2V with or without CA emission.

High Buck! BOB ALLEN FORD in Overland Park KS has ONE = 800-676-0675.

MILLER OBSOLETE PARTS in Binghamton NY has ONE = 800-546-7278.
Edit: 607-722-5371. Their 800 number is no longer valid.

GREEN SALES CO. in Cincinnati OH has THREE = 800-543-4959.

Bob Allen is close to you, but wants mega-bucks for obsolete parts.

Since all three sources have 800 numbers, call around for the best price. There are no set prices for obsolete parts, so the sky's the limit.

Thank you very much for the good information. I called the numbers you gave me for the carb rebuild kit. Bob Allen Ford wants $65. plus shipping, Green Sales wants $35. + shipping I presume. Miller Obsolete parts was the wrong phone #.
So I ordered from Green sales! I got one from Napa for $53. but will return it as they were not sure it was the right one. It has a Napa# of 2-5842 with a number on the box of 15724. The instructions say it is for a Holly Model -2300 EG. I couldn't find much on the carb itself except it says Holly made for Motocraft and the number stamped on the horn is: 6R 5544B. Thank you again... Ernie

I also have a similar problem. I'm trying to sell a 1980 F700 Grain Truck. I know it has the original motor in it but I have no idea what size/horsepower it is. The VIN # is K74NVHK1520. That'd be awesome if someone could help me out. Thanks!

Welcome to FTE

K74 = F700 (diesel).

N = 8.2L Detroit Diesel.

V = Kentucky Truck Assembly Plant.

HK1520 = 1980.

Thank you very much! That definitely helps me out a lot. So now I know it's a V8 8.2L Detroit Diesel. Is there anyway I can find out what the horsepower of the engine is?? Thanks!!

F70 = F700.

E = 361 2V

Thanks
 

Thanks so much, that is great info, My grandfather bought this truck new in 73, thats cool that he special ordered it. He sold the truck in 1980 and died in 84. I ran across it sitting in a field, It still had his name and phone number on the door! I could not believe it, I had to have it, purchased it for 800 bucks. It started right up and runs perfect no smoke no oil leaks, hard to believe but it has 102000 miles. Does no look like it ever had a bolt turned on it. Anyway thanks again for your help I would have never found all that out, Thanks Sherman.

I have one too if you don't mind: 1(E or f)DNK77N9FVA65799
 

I am looking at buying a truck and it is supposed to be a 1985 Ford F700.
I would like to know first if it is. Second what motor we're talking about. Third a little info for the shipping company. Approximate empty weight with a flat bed, top of cab height, width at front fenders.

I have one too, if you don't mind: 1FDNK77N9FVA65799
 

Welcome to FTE

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.

Thank you
 

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.

Any help on decoding this please . thanx

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

Yeh i talked to the previous owner and he said the f600 cab was rusty and he put the f700 cab on it and put the original vin back on. So it is a f600 with a f700 cab. So if u could decode the f600 vin above id love it. SORRY for so trouble with all the post's. Good to have ppl like u out there helpin. THANX

Ok thanx im totally confused. Ill check data plate and see if it matches. The truck is 4wheel drive so im not sure whats goin on. thanx again uve ben great. Have a great day.

It does decode to a 4WD, at least it does now after I fixed it. :-X15

I was about to sign off when you asked me to decode another, I had already decoded one a yours and another members '69 F600.

My peepers were blurry after spending 8 straight hours on this addictive site, typing other jazz, so I misread the VIN's series code and model code.

And, my '73/79 heavy truck catalog is on scratchy microfihe slides, that would blur the eyes of an owl in a NY minute.

Plus, I had to refer to a quoted post of yours (post 26) to type all the info into my post that you left out of post 24. How you managed that, I haven't a clue.

WOO thanx and the axle code is 64 not 84. lol I understand the peeps thing ive ben on and off since yesturday. Were getin it done buddy ;-)

64 = Rockwell-Timken model F-106 Rear Axle / 6.80-1 / 15,000 lb. Rear Axle Capacity.

Consider, there are over 649,000 registered members of FTE and a gazillion different forums. There is 1 Ford partsman, retired or not, guess who.

It takes a lotta time to research/type all this jazz, and no one is paying me a penny to do it. Take advantage while you can, cuz nothing lasts forever.

U r 1 nice fellow. Thanx so much. I can tell u for every1 on here, u r 1 greatly appreciated man. Now u got me all figured out i can proceed with my dealings. Time for some rest and then on to more. Have a great day. GET SOME REST BUD.

Help reading a VIN
 

The VIN is F61ERH17195.

What I think I have is:
1970
Ford
391
dump
5 speed
F600

Trying to find tranmission for it. The cast number on the tranmission is 230790. I think it is a clark 282V

also if anyone know a place to find a maintenance manual it would be great too.

thank you for your time

Welcome to FTE

F61 = F600 (gas).

E = 361 2V FT engine (F = 391 4V).

R = San Jose CA Assembly Plant.

H17195 = 1970.

While 230795 may be a Clark ID number, you need to post the TRANS code from the Warranty Plate to ID it. In fact you should post all the codes from the Warranty Plate.

Try faxonautolit.com for a shop manual, but be aware that Ford issued a shop manual one year, then added supplement manuals to it until the next major change (which occurred in 1973).

Faxon will be aware, since he's a Ford 'nut.'

I'm trying to order brake parts from napaonline and want to be sure I get the right ones. This is a dump truck my brother picked up from a water district that I'm trying to convert to a grain truck. Any info from the VIN or advise on brakes (seems to loose fluid but no apparent leaks) would be appreciated. VIN F70EVT69057

BTW I tried the vehiclehistorylookup.com site and it crunched away on the VIN claiming it was finding everything, then they took my Visa number ($1) and no report came. Their online chat basically said our database doesn't go back before '81 - too bad but you still have a credit.

Thanks
