be sure to get the vin from the door and the frame. Make sure they match or find which one belongs to what the truck has.

you might want to check fordification.com for the proper location depending on year but on the 70 I have it is on the passenger side top of the frame under the battery tray and also back towards the front cab mount.

Ford never made any dump trucks. People bought Cab & Chassis, then had the dump body installed by aftermarket body makers.

This truck is a Frankenstein Monster, with parts swapped from gawd only knows what.

There were no DRW F250's until 1985, there were no F350 4WD's until 1979.

1953/98 F250's & 1967/98 F350's have 8 lug wheels on a 6.50" bolt circle.

Thank`s for the ID. it looks like a good build tho. maybe set up as a town truck at one time. everything works and looks good. i like this truck because it has everything i like , 4x4.dump. DRW, 4 speed . i think i am going to buy it. i would like to put a Aluminum flat bed on it.
