Welcome to FTE

I asked a moderator to move your thread to the Large Truck forum. Most members of this forum have pickups, won't know that much (if anything) about 500 and larger series trucks.

F60 = F600.

A = 330 2V M/D FT engine.

R = San Jose CA Assembly Plant.

514403 = 1964, assembled March 1964.

174" Wheelbase.

M = Wimbledon White.

F602 = F600 .. 20,000 lbs. GVWR

181: 1 = Light Gray Crush Vinyl & Light Gray Rib Vinyl / 81 = 81A Standard Cab.

N = New Process 435 4 Speed or Spicer/Dana model 5652 5 Speed Direct.

F7 = Eaton model 13802 Two Speed Rear Axle / 5.83/8.11 / 15,000 lbs. Rear Axle Capacity.

20,000 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.

160 net HP @ 3,800 RPM

71 = Los Angeles (SoCal) Ford District Sales Office, where the original selling dealer ordered the truck from.

Thank you NumberDummy, The trans that is in truck has a label. The ID tag is Clark Model 285 V10
C7TA
Serial 72528H 7004B-2
So it looks like I can swap trans with my 70 F600. The Clark looks to be in good shape. Also a 5 speed couldn't hurt? Engine runs great, just doesn't go far on 20 gallons of fuel. I'm in Orange County, CA. Gas is over $4.00 a gallon.
