E = 361 2V or 4V FT engine.
V = Kentucky Truck Assembly Plant.
Y40180 = 1977.
212" Wheelbase.
F611 = F600 2WD (gas), 20,200 lbs. GVWR
E3M:
E3 = Eaton model 16244 Two Speed Rear Axle / 6.50/9.04 / 17,500 lbs. Rear Axle Capacity.
M = Ford 7,000 lbs. Capacity Front Axle with P/S
20,200 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.
74 = Seattle WA Ford District Sales Office, where the original selling dealer ordered the truck from.
Brake info depends on the size of the brake shoes (4 possible front/rear sizes of shoes) and the weight capacity of the front and rear axles.
