New N 950

I just bought my first N 950 and have been trying to decode the Warranty Plate. It looks like your pretty awesome at it. Any help would be appreciated.

Ok will do. I posted on one thread and it got moved. I’m new on here. I plan on maybe stretching it out a few inches and go from there. Always wanted one.

I don't need another hobby, such as restoring that old gem, but if that truck was to fall in my lap I'd sure have to consider it. Don't think I'd make it work truck though as once restored that beauty needs to be shown off, not subject to the stresses and dings of a working life..

The hardest work it’s gonna do is pull my camper. Maybe the car trailer every now and again. It’s got plenty of power to pull whatever I need with the 671 Detroit in it.

Here is a few pictures, it is a 1968 F800, It has a Dogleg 5 speed, and a 2 speed rear end. It was built by Western States. The truck belongs to my Fire Dept, and is our parade/show truck. It has spent it's whole life with our dept. It only has 13000 miles on it.
This is from last summer, at a local car show


This is a little older picture, before I replaced the 1980's lightbar with the original gumball light.

I am new to the forum.
I am considering buying a 1978 Ford L9000. VIN is K90TVC18432.
I believe this means:
K90: L9000
T: Detroit Diesel 8V92TA
V: Kentucky Plant
C: 1978
Correct?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers!
John

C700 VIN

I’m trying to decipher this VIN plate to help identify some stuff about a C700 I have acquired. I believe it is somewhere in the 1958-1960 range.
