Ford N700 door tag decode
I recently recovered my uncle's stake truck from a barn that was about to fall down on his farm. I remember this truck from my childhood, but I don't know anything about it. I would greatly appreciate any info you are able to provide. I'm sure I will be back requesting parts help when I dig into this project in the spring.
Thanks much!
Dave

71 f600 pto Info
I have a 71 f600 that was converted to a hydraulic dump truck from a 30ft u-haul. I would truly appreciate any info regarding the options for the pto pump that was installed. I currently cannot raise the bed to do any cleaning or to find the stamp or plate etc. In the process of rebuilding the carb and locating a fuel pump. Any info on the pto or even the best way to go about finding it on my own would really help me.

I read your posts in the New Member Introduction Forum, there were two different 330 engines, post the VIN to determine which one your truck has.

Y60119 = 1977.
VIN doesn't tell you much once it's decoded. Warranty Plate riveted to the left door face below the latch, post all the info stamped on it.
Studs/nuts: I need the AXLE code stamped on the 2nd line-far right on the Warranty Plate, also need to know the size of the wheel, how many studs/nuts it has (usually either 5 or 6).
