Yes, not a W or a Boss or an Aussie C. It's a Lincoln Y block.

Not sure this is 100% accurate, but it's about all you're going to find. These are really tough to find parts for.

NumberDummy - I gave you my vin back when your bulb was burnt out and you hadn't got back on it. I know the engine and trans but the tag is missing from the rear axle and I'm not sure if it's geared as fast as the speedo says or if the speedo is off. Would also like to know where it was built and sent to.

VIN 1FDXK84E9DYA39109
Type- K84327
Body- 8
Trans- AB
Axle- Y6
Dist- 58
DSO- 1917

Thanks in advance for any info you can give me.

Some of the codes you typed are missing digits. The BODY & AXLE codes contain 3 digits.

The DSO has 2 or 6 digits.

Messed up the vin
Vin- 1FDXK84E9PYA39109
WB- 154
Paint- ZA - it's white
Type- K84327 - I'm guessing K84 as in the vin and 327 for it's 32700lb GVW
Body- 8 - That's all that's on the tag, it a F800 single axle semi tractor with standard hood (non tilt forward front end)
Trans- AB - Allision MT643 on the trans tag
Axle- Y6 or V6 is all - it's a Rockwell but ? the ratio
Dist/DSO- 581917 - the white tag has the numbers split but the aluminum tag has them as one number
GVW- 32700lbs
It has a 8.3 12 valve Cummins and was a former government truck probably from a military base but not sure where.

Ok 4.10 gears, thanks, now I can calculate the speedo.
Bought it off government liquidation auction so I was guessing it was from a military base.


Thanks again.
