Started this thread to learn more about my truck. I am looking for some body parts for the cab. My steps are rotted and need to replace the. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Post your V.I.N. or lots of basic data before folks can be of much help.

 

What year is it??? Posting the VIN would be a big help.

 

Ok my truck is a 1968 C900 with a 534 gas engine. Standard trany with a hydraulic clutch. The truck is equipped with air brakes. My steps a little rottted and I need to repair them. Over all the truck isn't in to bad of shape.i have found a place where I can get a lot of parts but the steps.

 

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.

 

 

C90LVM30301
Also trying to determine what axles are in it

 

I have notice it looks like an Eaton rear axle, so can I presume the from would be the same?

 

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 can see the rear is a Eaton, but sure on the front

 

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.

 

This on the door

 

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.
