More VIN decoder help needed (sorry)
I just picked up a 1973 F-750 dump truck with a blown 391 in it. Local to this area since new apparently, and yet never seems to have seen a winter (?) very little rust. I sourced a running 330MD for it, so I will probably go that route, as 391s are scarce around here.
Anyway, it has east coast style wheels, a 5-sp (clark?) and what looks to be an eaton 2-sp axle.
F75FVS08286
134 6 F754 418 GHM
24000 556043
I can deduce the 24k weight rating, the 134 inch WB and I know 391 and Kentucky truck.
Any help would be appreciated, it will join my 73 F-25 and my 79 F-600 Crewcab as soon as it gets the engine swapped.
