F700 vin decode
Hi,
I got two 1964 trucks recently, one to restore and one for parts, but as i look at the parts truck i think it could make a great farm truck up here. If you could help me figure out the vin, especially the axle ratio, i would appreciate it.

Don't tread on me. I think this thing could roll over quite a bit, especially if i can do a 4x4 conversion on it with a dana 60.
Why do they look great on trailers? Strap over hood is because the hood hardware is gone.
4x4 or ratrod?

The Warranty Plate also has errors, there's no COLOR code, but there should be.
The TRANS code L (it was stamped too far to the left) may be correct, or it could be the COLOR code, which means no TRANS code was stamped (see if the decode matches the trans).
The AXLE code has been miss-stamped. 75 was stamped below TRANS .. E is in the correct position, but there's no such thing as a single letter AXLE code.

The reason I ask is, I've been to Palmer...to a farm that raises livestock, musk oxen as I recall.

F700 Farm Truck
I do not, I work for the Uncle Sam (US ARMY). But I have been to the Musk Ox Farm many times. In the fall they have a 'Run with the Bulls' 5/10K I like to do. Nothing like running in knee high tall grass, rolling hills, and bull excrement to keep you going and remind you of childhood.
My friend has 120 acres, though, and I thought it would be cool to get it running, put a flat bed on it, maybe a plow, and use it on his land. Maybe in trade for the work I'm going to do on my 64 4x4 in his shop.

But thr hubs and axles are in good condition. I'm hoping to not put much money into it, so any advice on how not to spend money but keep it running and rolling is appreciated.
