I am looking at buying a 88 f700 for farm use. Getting gravel, hauling hay, hauling wood, etc. I do know that it has the 170 hp version of the 6.6 diesel. I also know that it has an automatic. The vin is 1FDXK74P9JVA17047 the numbers on the door tag were :207k74300bk8aa2jn. I think that the trans code is the AA and the axle code is 2jn. The tag on the axle pumpkin had a lot of numbers that were really small, but I noticed that it said 529 in one corner. This truck has less than 90k on it and was used by a city for what I am not sure, the bed doesn't dump, but looks like a dump bed. All of the stuff that is needed to make it dump is included with it, and I can handle the conversion. The guy selling it is cleaning out his parts shed and is going to throw in a allison mt-643, and says that it will fit it. The 643 is bolted to a cat 3208 that he got out of a fire truck that he just needed the engine for.

Anyway my questions are what is the axle ratio?
What trans does it have?
Will the included mt-643 bolt up to the 6.6?

Thanks

 

Should be 5.29 axle ratio.

I don't know what trans is fitted.
The MT-643 uses SAE 2 bolt pattern, as does the Ford 6.6, so should bolt straight up.
