Greetings All,

My ID plate:

F10K7L13286
118 T 30 H A 01
05000 145 4100

History:

I bought it in March 2017, from the Denver Center for the Perfoming Arts - Theater Company, for $300.00 dollars. I work there as a stagehand. They bought it as a prop two or three years earlier for a show called Sweet and Lucky and never tried to get it running. It was not running when I got it, so I thought I couldn’t make it not run any more. It was the perfect first project. It now starts and idles. I am in the process of putting power disc brakes on it now. Next is the clutch hydraulics.

Thank you,

Matt Wagner

F10 = F100.

K = 272 2V

7 = 1957.

L = Michigan Truck Assembly Plant.

13286 = 1957 Numerical Sequence of Assembly, the trucks specific serial number.

118" Wheelbase.

T = Exterior COLOR code, not listed in truck parts catalog for 1957/60.

30H = Assembled August (H) 30, 1956.

A = Ford 3 Speed Manual Transmission.

01 = Ford 9" Rear Axle / 3.70-1 / 3,300 lbs. Axle Capacity.

5,000 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.

145 net HP @ 4,100 RPM

Some 1957's used a unique Rating Plate, did not have a MODEL code stamped between the COLOR & DATE codes.
