However, since your C750 was converted to 4WD after the fact, the trans that's there now, may not have been the orginally.

Okay, since it has been converted to 4x4 I don't trust the Axle or Trans codes. Based on Allison material, I believe I have a AT650 5 speed.
Based on a vin decode that NumberDummy did for another member, here is what I come up with:
1974 C750 tild cab, 391 4v, Kentucky plant, 1974.
153" wheelbase, black HD vinyl, regular cab. Ignoring trans and axle.
23000 GVW Max Buffalo NY DSO, special ordered.
The Vol. Fire Dept. that I purchased it from had just gone through the brakes and put new Michelin XZY3 tires on!

153" Wheelbase.
C753 = C750 Tilt Cab, 23,000 lbs. GVWR
4A8: 4A = Black Vinyl H/D-Full Width Seat / 8 = 91A Standard Cab.

0559 = Domestic Special Order number, which applies to both the following:
*No COLOR code: Truck painted a non standard color per original purchasers order.

Thanks ND! I don't have the truck home yet and the axle tags were covered in multiple layers of paint so I don't have a clue yet. I've read on Pirate 4x4 that the front drive axle could be Marmon Herrington? I also saw a 74 Ford school bus that was 4x4 and it came with a MH front drive axle and a Rockwell rear...
Gotta get it home to solve some mysteries!

WOOHOO!!! Snow from yesterday shut us down at work today... the only logical thing to do was to pick up my C750! Topped off the fluids and drove her home without any issues. Didn't really expect problems as the truck was in service just two years ago.
Positively identified the front as a NAPCO 11000 Model 11,000# front assy.
The trans was also confirmed, Allison MT650 5-speed auto.
The rear is the Eaton that Ford installed at the factory.
Still unsure of the transfer case but I assume it to be a NAPCO as well.
Not bad for a snow day!
