Welcome to FTE

No brake info is available from the VIN. There are four possible sizes of front brakes, six possible sizes of rear brakes. You will need to know the exact sizes before ordering parts.

Look on the drums for any numbers, post what they are. If Ford related, I can tell you what the front/rear brake sizes are.

F70 = F700 (gas).

E = 361 2V FT engine.

V = Kentucky Truck Assembly Plant.

T69057 = 1974.

Thanks Bill. I had no idea the brake options would be so complex. The truck is about 100 miles north of me in Idaho and I've got some young guys helping me. It may be that there is nothing worn out, but that it has just sat too long. Is this post relevant to this model?

Thanks again.

Sorry, don't know. Was a Ford partsman (1962/97), not a mechanic. But, someone in this forum will know. Start a new thread, then ask.

Mahaloz Bill! What does it mean that it was an incomplete Ford vehicle? As you can tell Im new to this forum and have a lot to learn about larger trucks, diesel engines, and how to operate and maintain them. Ive seem to have had a difficult time finding information on the older F700 model and for example on PTOs. When I click on a link at this site theres always tons on threads can I narrow this down w a search for just F700s? FYI I did bid on all three service manuals from ebay and have been browsing those. I would also like to install a hydraulic dump, modify the bed, and treat the entire chassis and bed with zero rust. Thanks in advance for any direction you can give.

Incomplete vehicle = "chassis/cab", or cutaway or certain other configurations where a body or other equipment is to be added by the buyer or another vendor.

For a PTO, post your data plate info to find out what trans you have. Once you know the trans, you can find a PTO to fit. Millions served. The PTO will not be F700 specific, but rather specific to the transmission.

Could you please decode my VIN? F70DUC73119. Thanks.

Welcome to FTE

F70 = F700 (gas).

D = 361 2V FT engine.

U = Louisville KY Assembly Plant.

C73119 = 1968, assembled January 1968. This is the F700's specific serial number.

Ford confusion :confused: Or, it could be a 1976, as FoMoCo used the same sequence of serial numbers as they did in 1968.

1968 serial number range: C00,001 - D82,000.

1976 serial number range: A00,001 - D25,000.

If a 1976, there's two ways to ID:

The Warranty Plate, located on the left door face below the latch, will have 1976 on the 3rd line between the GVW and the DSO code.

Safety Standard Certification Label intro'd in 1970, glued to the left (drivers) side B pillar below the door striker plate. Has the production date at the upper right or left corner.

It was sold to me as a 1967.
Thank you very much for the information.

Hi there,
I just bought that F 700 1973 Firetruck. Shes got a Ford V8 with a 4 bbl Holley Carb.
Could anybody help me with the VIN decodeing of that biest.

VIN: F70EVA87796
WB: 176
Color: TT
Type GVW: F702
Body: 416
Trans: 0
Axle: 553
Max. GVW: 22000
D.S.O. : 99

Thank you very much.

F70 = F700.

E = 361 2V or 4V FT engine.

V = Kentucky Truck Assembly Plant.

A87796 = 1976 (1976 serial number range: A10,001-D25,000) / (1973 serial number range: Q00,001-S60,000).

176" Wheelbase.

Will finish this decode later today, microfiche bulb just burned out.

F 700 Decode
 

Thank you for this information so far.
Please, could you decode the rest of the VIN also, if your microfiche reader is working again.

Thanks and have a nice day.

F700 decode please
 

Buying a f700 4x4 and need vin decoded please help thanks

F66evv80386

Bill, you da man!! Thanks for helping us with this decoding stuff. I have another one for you. I bought a '79 F7000 diesel grain truck with a dump bed. The data plate on the door is obviously incorrect since the VIN starts with F10. The plate is painted over and the door handle is different so apparently the door was replaced and the plate wasn't transferred. From the registration, the VIN is K70BVFC9184. Is the plate data replicated anywhere else on the chassis? Thanks for any decoding help you can offer.

K70 = F700 Diesel.

B = Caterpillar V190-3208 636 cid V8 Diesel or Cummins KTA 600 1150 cid I-6 Diesel.

V = Kentucky Truck Assembly Plant.

FC9184 = 1979.

There will be a hidden VIN stamped on the top of the frame rail, but where it is on your truck, I dunno.

You can get a duplicate Warranty Plate with all the correct codes stamped on it by passing along your VIN to martiauto.com

F700 330 cu in replacement engine
 

Sorry not a reply but request can not find where to do this right

1973 330 cu in engine replacement needed internet keeps sending me in circles anyone know where i can get one?

What is wrong with your 330? You might be better off rebuilding it yourself.

Do you have the HD or the MD version? (larger crank snout on the HD)

Used or reman 330s--googled it:

http://www.nexttruckonline.com/searc...del=All-Models

Overhaul kits:

FORD ENGINE PARTS

Searching is a pita because you mostly come up with late model 5.4 OHC motors, as those are 330 CI as well.

IF you have a MD, medium duty, it might be easier to sub in an FE motor. If you have an HD, you may still be able to sub in a larger FT like the 361 or 391, although those are usually harder to find than the 330.

Ed, it's a 330 2V H/D FT engine.

OP has typed three different threads on this topic, at least one has the VIN: F60DVS01693 and as you can see, it's an F600, not an F700.

330 2V H/D uses the same crank as the 361. 330 2V M/D uses the same crank as the 352/360 FE engine.

330 2V H/D uses the same flywheel as the 361 and 391 4V. 330 2V M/D uses a differernt flywheel, it's not the same as any FE engine.

Jack Wolf: FT engines (330 2V M/D - 330 2V H/D - 361 2V [and 1974/78 361 4V] - 391 4V) installed in 1964/78 500 series and larger trucks.

Thanks do the bell housing of the 361, 391 FT have the same bolt pattern as 330 and can a newer model than a 1973 be used

Did'ja read post 63?

1964/78 FT engines: Two different bell housings are listed. One is marked with ID number C4TA-7505-G while the other is marked C4TA-7505-C or -F or -J

Look at your bell housing for its ID number, post what it is, I'll give you its applications.

btw: I'm the only FTE member that has Ford truck parts catalogs for 500 series and larger trucks and I'm 69 today .. so I may be an older phart than you are!

They do have the same pattern, but as noted in prior post, two different bells were used. Who knows what the difference was? Might be a deal killer, might not.

My guess is the difference has something to do with the clutch or mounting, not bolting to the engine.

Bell housing depends on which trans the truck has.

Jack Wolf: TRANS code listed on the 2nd line of the Warranty Plate, located either on the inside of the glove box door or on the left door face below the latch.

If it's the trans, shouldn't his existing bell bolt up to any FT motor?

If that were the case, why would Ford list two different bell housings?

Bell to trans might be different. (like a Clark vs. a NP435 for example) Bell to engine the same. What about clutch differences, hydraulic vs. mechanical? OP needs to look see what he has, but my guess is nothing is going to change from the bell back and any FT HD will bolt up.

having rough time figuring out how to do things on his site thanks for your help jack Wolf
