1971 F500, according to your Vehicle Identification Number number.

Do you need help finding the correct forum?

Here's where you really want to be:

The F100-F350 forums are only going to be good for body and interior questions for the most part - but we still appreciate pics of the larger trucks...

F50 = F500.

C = 330 2V Medium Duty FT engine.

C = Oakville Ontario Canada Truck Assembly Plant.

L83817 = 1971.

Please post further questions in the LARGE TRUCK forum. Most members of the 1967/72 F100 and larger truck forum have pickups.
