Numberdummy will confirm, but I think in the step department, all those cabs were the same. So any C series could be a donor.

Is there a plate on the driver door with the VIN? It also has trans and axle codes.

No. Axle codes are on that plate, not in the VIN.

There is a tag on the pass door. I can see the rear axle stuff but not the front. Next time I am out by the truck I can get a picture of it.

I read "Ford 9000", a Ford made 9000lb axle.

Rear says Eaton with a 6.50 ratio.

Warranty plate looks like this, minus the paint:

C90 = C900 (gas).

L = 534 4V

V = Kentucky Truck Assembly Plant.

M30301 = 1971 (are you sure it's 30301?)

AXLE code stamped on the 2nd line-far right of the Warranty Plate, riveted to the left (drivers side) door face below the latch.

Pic of build sheet in post #10 has this front axle ID number: C7TA-3010-Y = This is a Ford 9,000 lbs. capacity front axle.

Really appreciate your help. I've been told it's a 68 but the build sheet from young fire equipment says it's a 71.
