Anyone? NumberDummy? We are in the process of getting this truck going and just trying to figure out what all it has. We know that it is not the original motor but not sure what it should have had.

Your truck was 191 units behind mine on the assembly line. Interesting how mine is a 1/2 ton Mercury and yours is a 5 ton Ford but then again we have the same colour.
