Don't think Ford sent it's trucks out with Warn equipment, so best bet is aftermarket, where it got installed is a whole different deal.

Welcome to FTE

Warn winches were not offered by FoMoCo for F Series trucks. A Warn winch 'kit' was available at Ford Dealer parts counters, but only for 1966/77 Bronco's.

The winch on your truck was either dealer installed...using a kit supplied by Warn, or installed by a previous owner. I doubt the Bronco kit was used, because of how it was mounted.

Ford did offer factory installed Warn Hubs for 4WD's, which were also available as a kit at the parts counter.

If it has a 390, it was swapped in, as the only available V8 offered for 1968/76 F100/250 4WD's was the 360 2V.

On sale day, 360 engines magically become 390's.

The engine code is the 4th digit of the VIN:

1968/72 F100/250 4WD: A = 240 I-6 (standard equipment) / B = 300 I-6 (optional) / Y = 360 2V (optional).

Nice highboy!

I hear ya on the disc brake front-end upgrade, 4 wheel drums don't leave much room for error when you need to stop on a dime.
