Vin decode needed.
Hey guys, it's been a long time. I'm looking at buying what's advertised as a 1975 F600, but it's a 1974 F500. Vin is F50CCT07000, trans code is 4, axle code is F2J. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, it's a two speed Eaton. I was more curious about the trans, as it looks to be a 4sp with overdrive. Solid truck, needs the line from the master too the hydrovac unit, and the carb needs properly tuned.

It would be unusual to find a 5 speed OD in an F500. There are no 4 speed OD transmissions in these trucks.
Other than the Clark OD, I don't know of other OD transmissions offered.
