Can you identify what 375903-S is, if not the temp sensor?

 

I already told you what it is, it's a nipple. This is a Standard (HARDWARE) part number, so it's nuts/bolts/clips and etc related.

Expand the pic, you can see the 8A366 hose connecting to it.

The number in parentheses is the Ford dealer standard parts bin location number. There were 100,000+ standard parts, so Ford offered special pull out drawers with cubby holes in them.

If there was no bin location, it would take someone hours to find the puppy. I once inventoried City Ford's standard parts bins, the aisle was 40' long, the bins were 20' high.

Took me and a pal 5 hours with me doing the counting while my pal wrote down the part number/quantity. Balancing my 6-5 250# body on that rickety ladder was not a pleasant experience!

 

When you get the radiator back post a photo of it.
You could short the wire going to the sender and see what gauge, light or other function activates without the radiator.

 

Actually found a pic before I tore everything apart. It’s the green circled area. It was just screwed in there with a wire running off of it. Never really traced the wire, but once I get back to it I certainly will attempt that.

Im thinking maybe the original quit working and they just got an aftermarket temp sensor and screwed it in right there and went straight to the guage with it.

 

Good morning. This is the only tag on this truck. The riveted door tag says a 78 c600. The glued on sticker says c90kvh11648. It has a 361 4v and 4 speed automatic that is in the truck. The outside doors say c900. Most of the stamped part numbers are around c6 to c9. It's a older fire truck. Looking for king pins Thank you

 

C90 = C900 (gas).

K = 477 4V (361 would be VIN engine code E but FT engines (330/361/391) were not installed in C900's).

V = Kentucky Truck Assembly Plant.

H11648 = 1970 (1970 C/CT500/1000 serial number range: G30001-J90000).

You cannot go by the Warranty Plate info, because the left door has been replaced.

Warranty Plate riveted to the left door face below the latch. Ford called the VIN the Warranty Number, said it was not to be used for title/registration purposes.

The usual reason: People replaced damaged left doors with used doors. 99.9% of the time, they failed to install the original Warranty Plates on the replaced doors.

1972/86 C/CT series Tilt Cab doors interchange. 1981/86's no longer use a Warranty Plate, Certification Label is glued to the left door beginning 1981.
----------
The king pin problem is: I need the AXLE code to determine the weight capacity of the front axle. But the Warranty Plate is wrong and that's where the code was stamped.

9,000 lbs. capacity front axle was standard equipment, 12,000 & 15,000 lbs. capacity were optional. But if the truck has center point steering, it could have an 11,000 or 13,000 lbs capacity optional axle.

Look at the front axle, it will have a ID number cast on it, similar to this: C6TA-3010-D .. I need the number to determine if the following is correct:

D1HZ-3111-A .. King Pin Kit - Use with 9,000 lbs. capacity front axle / Obsolete

GREEN SALES CO. in Cincinnati OH has 1 = 800-543-4959.

BOWMAN SALES & SERVICE in Bowman ND has 1 = 701-523-3257.

MCDONALD OBSOLETE PARTS in Rockport IN has 1 = 812-359-4965.

CARPENTER NOS OBSOLETE PARTS in Concord NC has 2 = 800-476-9653.

The 11,000 & 15,000 lbs capacity front axles use two different kits. I didn't look at the center point steering kits.

 

Thank you, thank you, thank you sir. I think the motor has been changed and is a 361. Casting on the passenger side of the block says d3te-1. It says 361 on the air cleaner and it has the dual thermostats. The exhaust manifolds say c6te94300.
It has a allison 4 speed automatic behind it at540?
The rear end castings say 3200 r 1188 d. Need to figure out the gears so I can change them and go over 45mph.
I found a tag in the glovebox that says 2251a 4041
C90, does that mean anything? I have not cleaned the front axle enough to get numbers off it yet.

 

 

I would like a VIN plate decoded, but thought I would give it a try myself and ask for any corrections I might need. (Just seeing if I can do it)
This is a 1964 N700 Grain truck.
N70MU501556
181 - N703 681A L 75 E
24000 160 3800 35

N70 = N700
M = 330 2V HD
U = Kentucky
501556 puts it in the 1964 range as advertised

181 is the wheelbase
The dash in the color is probably a DSO?
N703 is 24k lb N700
681A is a black vinyl reg cab
L is the trans, a Clark Model 2651-V1 5-speed Direct Drive
(not sure on this next one...)
75 I think is a Eaton 1614-15 with a 7.17 ratio? 17k lb
E is a front axle 9k lb

This has me a little confused too... because the truck is listed at 24000 lbs when the axles add up to 26000 lbs?

Horspower 160 at 3800 rpm and ordered through Lansing, MI.

How did I do???

 

Hello Bill,

I have a 317 V-8 and 5 speed transmission from what I believe to be a 1955 Ford F-800. This combo was installed in a 1955 Dodge COE, model JMA some 60 years ago, by my father. I am currently restoring the truck. I found a post you made on 8-10-11 in this forum, regarding a clutch for a 1963 F-800. You gave a number for the pressure plate of B6Q-7563-A.
A quick search turned up one on ebay for $52.00 delivered, so I snapped it up! Numerous pictures and measurements with the listing matched perfectly with what I have.

In that 8-10-11 post you gave a number of C3TZ-7550-E for the clutch disc for that gentleman's 1963 truck. Is there any way you can confirm is that is the correct number for my engine/ transmission? It is a 12" clutch. 10 spline, 1 1/8" inside, 1 3/8" outside on the splines. I have not yet located one of these.

Also, could you possibly provide numbers for the release bearing and pilot bearing?

Thanks so much! You have already helped me greatly, from an 8 year old post!

Tom, in AZ

 

Hi would anyone be able to decode a vin for me it is F61DEP02340

 

NumberDummy:

Year: 1974
Model: WT9000
VIN#: Z90TVT06124

Looking for the front & rear wheel bolt pattern dimensions. Not sure if what's on mine right now was original or not. I know some had Dayton front steer wheels but some didn't.

Thanks in advance,
~Michael

 

Looks like the standard 10 hole Bud wheel setup they used on big rigs for many years.
It called stud pilot mount, in the late 90's or early 2000's they changed to the new hub pilot mount design.
Dayton design are the ones with spoked hubs and open canter rims that clamp onto the hubs.

 

Agreed. I know a lot of guys switched to those as well. Is there anyway of knowing if that was original to the truck or what was? The fronts are 24&1/2 and the rears are 22&1/2 which I'm pretty sure from the factory, size wise they would've matched, no?

Is that 10lug bolt pattern a specific size / dimension or is it just one & universal, so it's the same as on all other make & model 10-Lug wheels?

My brains thinking like the way passenger cars, light trucks & sport utilities are ... They're say 5 on 4&1/2 or 5 on 4&3/4.

 

Truck would have came with all same size wheels, most likely 10.00-20 tube type split rims, you don't want them, local guy was killed years ago when the outer ring blew off while he was airing up a front tire.
22.5 & 24.5 tubeless first come on the market around 78 or 79, a company I was pulling for bought some new trailers in the summer of 79 that had 22.5 tubeless, first ones I ever saw, they had bias ply tires, steel belted radials were new to the market then and most of us didn't like them, made the truck feel squirrelly.
Bolt pattern is the same on all big trucks no matter what brand it is, I'd find a set of 22.5 front wheels and swap them on in place of the 24.5's, just make sure they are for the older stud pilot mount, the newer hub pilot mount rims won't work with your hubs.
