When 8D is typed together, that smilie face appears...unless you disable smilies in text by scrolling down to bottom of page.

1FD = FoMoCo USA incomplete vehicle.

P = Class 7, Hydraulic Brakes, 26,000-33,000 lbs. GVWR

D74 = C700 Diesel non sleeper cab.

N = Detroit 8.2L Diesel.

7 = Check digit, FoMoCo use only.

G = 1986.

V = Kentucky Truck Assembly Plant.

A14889 = 1986 Numerical Sequence of Assembly.

175" Wheelbase.

Type GVWR: D742 = C700 Diesel, 26,000 lbs. GVWR

Codes after 'Type' are mixed up.

1FD = FoMoCo USA - Ford Truck - Incomplete Vehicle.

W = Class 6 Air Brakes - 19,501-26,000 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating range.

D74 = C700 Diesel (non sleeper) C7000 is a C700 w/a diesel.

N = Detroit model DDA 990N or 990T 8.2L (501 cid) 8 Cylinder Diesel.

5 = Check digit, FoMoCo use only.

F = 1985.

V = Kentucky Truck Assembly Plant.

A61297 = 1985 Numerical Sequence of Assembly, the trucks specific serial number.

I finding it hard to locate replacement seals / gaskets for the 8.2l diesel in my truck, as well as the install tool for the rear main seal. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
