VIN Again
Hello guys/gals. I have a '70 F-700 Dump that I use for farm duties. The brakes were never "road worthy" but now they're completely out. I surfed around a bit and saw a couple guys that can decode the brake type via the VIN. My VIN is F70EV(I think)Y50817, Under that is....
WB = 158
Color = T
Type/GVW = F704
Body = 418
Tran = 0
Axel = 53M
Under that, On the bottom left of the tag is 24000. On the bottom right is 211355.
I need to replace the Master Cyl. for sure, But I can't find one. It has a casting # on the side........FE 207.
I THINK a NAPA PN NMC M78314 is the correct one, But would like one of you guys to check me out. Here's a link to the MC.
NAPA AUTO PARTS
I've copied the relevant bleed procedures and will bleed them CORRECTLY this time
Thanks in advance.

I have a 1970 
F700 Dump that I use for farm duties. The brakes were never "road worthy" but now they're completely out.
I surfed around a bit and saw a couple guys that can decode the brake type via the VIN.
Impossible, the VIN has very limited info. By the last 6 digits of the VIN (serial number), this is a 1977.. not a 1970!
VIN: F70EVY50817
Warranty Plate: W.B. 158 / Color: T / Type/GVW: F704 / Body: 418 / Trans: O / Axle: 53M / GVW: 24000 / DSO: 211355

211355:

Compare the VIN on the Warranty Plate to the VIN on the registration to see if they match.
