Need help decoding vin on a 1970 C750

Can't seem to find much info on the c series trucks. The vin is C76EVH55707.

I think they might have misprinted the tag because it says C760 but the decals on the truck say 750

C760 is the MODEL code, defines the C750's specific GVWR / For some reason, possibly in error, it was omitted from the 3rd line-far left of the Warranty Plate.

C76 = C750 Tilt Cab (gas).

E = 361 2V FT engine.

V = Kentucky Truck Assembly Plant.

H55707 = 1970.

99" Wheelbase.

J = Rangoon Red.

C760 = C750 Tilt Cab (gas) .. 27,500 lbs. GVWR

4A8: 4A = Black all Vinyl / 8 = 91A Standard Cab.

M = Clark model 285V 5 Speed Direct Manual Transmission.

GHN:

GH = Eaton model 17221 Two Speed Rear Axle / 6.50/8.87 / 18,500 lbs. Rear Axle Capacity.

N = Ford Rockwell-Timken 9,000 lbs. Capacity Front Axle with P/S

27,500 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (Omitted from Warranty Plate).

182 net HP @ 3,800 RPM

65 = Oklahoma City OK Ford District Sales Office, where the original selling dealer (probably Fred Jones Ford) ordered the truck from.

I appreciate the help. I couldn't find any info on this truck. It really helps me out now that I know what engine I'm dealing with.
