I just answered your other thread and this is what is needed to find out what trans it left the factory with. Decodes take from a few minutes to a few days, with sometimes a little begging required. Remember, folks volunteer to do this as a hobby of sorts.

Stand by....

That's a respectable combo, but I would look for it to hit the wall about 55 mph, "drag limited".

Are you familiar with the 2 speed rear axle? I can dig up the Eaton video if you are not.

Thanks. Good videos. Similar but slightly different on preselection. It needs work but hopefully can get it driving. If not I'll borrow my companis step deck.

F60 = F600.

B = 300 1V I-6.

K = Kansas City MO Assembly Plant.

791680 = 1966, assembled December 1965.

174" Wheelbase.

COLOR code: Blank*

F602 = F600 .. 20,000 lbs. GVWR

481: 4 = Medium Beige Crush Vinyl & Medium Beige Wicker Pattern Vinyl / 81 = 81A Standard Cab.

A = New Process 435 4 Speed Manual Transmission.

F8 = Eaton model 13802 Two Speed Rear Axle / 6.33/8.81 / 15,000 lbs. Rear Axle Capacity.

20,000 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.

150 net HP @ 3,600 RPM

441499:

44 = Twin Cities MN Ford District Sales Office, where the original selling dealer ordered the truck from.

1499 = Domestic Special Order number, truck special ordered by the original purchaser, not "bought off the lot."

*When there is no COLOR code stamped on the Warranty Plate, the truck was painted a non standard color, making it a Domestic Special Order.

Ed, some members consider this a hobby, but I consider it a job, 'Course I don't get paid to do this jazz, but I'm happy to do it...because I loved this job when I was working.

And as for begging, I've been very busy elsewhere on FTE the last coupla days. Finally found the time to look at the Large Truck forum.
