Year and engine is all I am looking for.
Thanks

 

I don't have the info for this year truck, IF it is in fact a '52.

vinwiz.com VIN Decoder

If it is that year, we can move this down to https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum41/.

There are a couple guys there who can decode the older trucks.


So much for VINwiz. See post 307

 

It's not a 52. They want $1500 for it, so I think I am buying it tomorrow.

 

One more time in slow motion from the '73-'79 Master Parts Catalog for 600-900 trucks:

Y90 = 1973-on LTS900 Diesel

2 = Detroit 6-71N 426 CID 6 cylinder diesel (Offered '73 to '79, and matches the 210 HP rating on the plate. Others were Cummins NTC 250 or 290 with 250 or 290 HP)

V = Kentucky Truck Plant

P92375 = This is the serial number. I can't figure it out. The source I have doesn't show me a sequence starting with "P", or I am simply not seeing it. I will post a photo of the entire info below.

167 = 167" Wheelbase

Blank color, painted some non-standard color under the DSO.

Y900 = '73-'77 LTS 900 Diesel, 43,000lb GVWR OR '78-'79 LTS 900 Diesel, 44,800 GVWR. (does not square with 45,000lbs GVWR on the plate)

1E2 = Standard cab with butterfly hood. E is for a seat or upholstry info, I don't have that info.

Transmission is blank, ordered as part of the DSO.

CFP = CF--Eaton model 34-DSC 34,000lb capacity rear axle, 4.56 ratio
P--Rockwell (Timken) model FF-903 12,000lb capacity front axle with power steering.

45000 = 45,000lb GVWR (conflicts with model info above but not axle info)

225 2100 = 225 certified net HP @ 2100 RPM

581208 = 58 Twin Cities District, 1208 is the Special Order Number.

 

Serial number info:

 

Looking for info on an old F750 I believe the vin is F75FVQ74140. Any info would be appreciated

 

Welcome to FTE!

Does this truck have a gas or diesel engine? The engine code can be for either. Axle ratios suggest gas.

F75FVQ74140

F75 = '73 to '77 F750

F = 391 4V FT gas V8 OR Cummins NTC270CT 855 CID 6 cylinder diesel (a special order engine and this truck shows a special order code)

V = Kentucky Truck Plant

Q74140 = 1973 numerical sequence

212 = 212 inch wheelbase

XM = Paint code. X does not show for '73 except for Canadian use trucks. M is white. Is the truck two tone, with one of them white? Perhaps the other tan or ivory? (which wouldn't make much of a two tone) Could be part of the special order.

F751 = F750 22,200lbs GVWR (This or the plate look to be a typo as they don't match)

C28 = Standard cab, I do not have upholstery and seat type info.

4 = Clark model 280VO 5 speed OD transmission

E3L
E3 = Eaton model 16244 two speed rear axle, 17,500lbs capacity, 6.50/9.04 ratios
L = Ford front axle, 6,000lbs capacity with power steering

22000 = 22,000lbs GVWR

260450
26 = New Orleans district code
0450 = special order number.

 

looks like it used to be yellow ish

 

OK that tag might have come along with a replacement door.

That truck in the picture is a tandem axle. The tag lists a 2 speed axle. Unless the third axle is a dead axle added by an owner?

22,200lbs GVWR is pretty light, I would say too light, for a tandem axle truck.

'73 similar, 24,000lbs GVWR, tag axle.

Double check the VIN vs. the title. Check the rear axle as well.

 

thanks. I'll check it out. I'm sure I can find other means to identify if I check hard enough

 

Hello All,
Looking for help with a truck that came with some land i recently purchased. Currently the plan is to take the water tank off of it and build a flat bed for it and put it to work. But first I need to know what I am starting with.
Any help would be great. So far I have figured out that the truck was made in Kentucky, and it is somewhere around a 75-77 model year.
VIN C91KVY09592
WB 135
Color C
Type C915
Body 4A3
Trans 6
Axle FGS

Thanks for the help.

 

Welcome to FTE!

C91 = C900 gas

K = 477 4V Super Duty gas V8

V = Kentucky Truck Plant

Y09592 = 1977 numerical sequence

C = Special white

C915 = C900 39,000lbs GVWR

4A3 = I don't have the upholstery and seat type info, but this combo doesn't work anyway. Are you sure it's not 4A8? That would be standard cab, no sleeper.

6 = Clark model 390V five speed direct transmission

FGS
FG = Eaton model 19121 23,000lbs capacity, 6.67 ratio
S = Rockwell (Timken) FH-901 front axle, 16,000lbs capacity with power steering

Let me know if something doesn't match up and I'll double check.

Does it run? SD parts are hard to find.

 

Thank you for the information. You are correct on the 4A8, I misread it. Currently i have not tried to start it. I am not sure how long it has been sitting so i was going to pull the plugs and make sure the engine wasn't locked up. When you say "SD" what is that referring to? Are there any good place to get parts for these trucks?

 

SD = "Super Duty". These were HD gas V8s introduced in 1958, and they ran through the late '70s. 401-477-534, plus the smog version 475. Water pumps and t-stats, housings etc are hard to find.
Tune up parts are the same as any Ford V8 from the '50s to the early-mid '70s when Duraspark came in. The carbs are obsolete, but you may still be able to find a rebuild kit once you find the carb number, on the airhorn of the carb iirc If not, you can swap a later model on there if need be.
Fuel pumps are electric and I think in the tank. Check the tank and fuel filter. No sense filling the filter or carb with debris if you can help it.

C series trucks have no reproduced parts, so any body parts or glass will be a searching prospect. But almost any other C series can be a donor.

See if it's a runner. Good luck!

 

Got it. So what it sounds like is if the motor is not working parts are impossible to find and your better off swapping in a different motor. For the most part the cab looked to be in good shape and all the glass was there. For the fuel system, it is currently bone dry ( the tank doesn't have a cap on it) fuel system cleaning will most likely be in order.
Thank you for all your help. Hopefully it will run and drive again some day soon.
