Welcome to FTE

C61 = C600 Series Tilt Cab (gas).

D = 330 2V Heavy Duty FT engine.

V = Kentucky Truck Assembly Plant.

H51035 = 1970.

F24: F2 = Eaton model 15201 2 Speed Rear Axle / 5.83/8.12-1 / 15,000 lb. Rear Axle Capacity // 4 = Ford Front Axle w/o P/S / 7,000 lb. Front Axle Capacity.

A = New Process 435 4 Speed Manual Transmission.

22 = Charlotte NC Ford District Sales Office, where the original selling dealer ordered the truck from.

If NAPA can get them, that's your best bet.

Any parts store that sells heavy truck parts should have the contacts.They use to be inexpensive at the dealer
put some light grease or oil on the screw and bottom bearing while your in there.Sometimes they get a little rusty
