'78 F600 Decode/timing set
From what I've read on the thread this is a forward 600 with a 361 motor(with a 4 barrel Holley carb on the top. The title says it's a 78, which I question the accuracy of. We need to do a bunch of work on this truck and Having this warranty plate decoded would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
