xF25HCEJ2491

x=?

F25= Series: 73-79 2WD pick up (F250)

H = Engine Code:
<TABLE style="BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" border=1 cellSpacing=0 borderColor=#000000 cellPadding=2 width="100%"><TBODY><TR><TD>'73-'76</TD><TD align=middle>8</TD><TD align=middle>390</TD><TD align=middle>2-bbl.</TD><TD></TD></TR><TR><TD>'77-'79</TD><TD align=middle>8</TD><TD align=middle>351</TD><TD align=middle>2-bbl</TD><TD>5.8 Litre</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

C= Assembly Plant<TABLE style="BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" border=1 cellSpacing=0 borderColor=#000000 cellPadding=2 width="100%"><TBODY><TR><TD bgColor=#fff4e6 align=middle>C</TD><TD>Ontario Truck</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

EJ2491= Consecutive Unit Number or Production Serial Number

From DC0,001 To FK9,000 is a 1979


The frame's original cab would have had mounted a warranty plate with the rest of the specs like the body code, model code, axle, tranny, and gross vehicle weight rating. I guess ya got what ya got. 'hope that helps.
