VIN/Transmission Decode
Just bought myself a farm dump truck-getting conflicting information when I decode the VIN (shows up as an LN7000 which I can confirm it is not)-would like to draw on the experience of this group to decode the VIN as well as the axle/transmission information.
1985 Ford F700 8.2L GM/Allison w/auto trans.
Vin
1FDXR74N4FVA57151
Axle trans Tag reads
WB 166
Type-GVW R748
Body H8
Trans AA
Axle FQN
Attached is a photo of the vin tag.Attachment 173734

Thanks, in advance for any help.
Mostly want to know the specific transmission so I can get the correct fluid/filter

Not sure I understand what you're asking. It isn't badged as either an F700 or LN700 so I guess I sort of misspoke when I said " I can confirm it isn't an LN7000" . Based on the information you've provided I think it is an L-series-mostly as the sketch shows a fuel tank on the passenger side.

NumbersDummy,
I get your question (once I read your entire response-gotta do that first!)
It is either the L or LN-if the tank is as shown in the sketch then it might not be an L as the tank is rectangular-the one on the page you attached appears to be round on the L series. Additionally, the "step fenders" on the LN look more like what are on this on the drivers side.
Ford seems to have made this more difficult than necessary.
