F70 = F700 gas
F = 391 4V XD FT gas (lots of it) V8. "XD" took the place of "HD" in most cases.
V = Kentucky Truck Plant
Y91116 = 1977 series number
212 = 212 inch wheelbase
KC
K = Bright Red
C = Special White
F709 = This shows as a 1978 model code for F700 with 27.500lbs GVWR Note series numbers are mid to late '77 model year. I have no insight into such discrepancies.
16 = My source does not pair a "1" with a "6". The "6" refers to "Fire Truck Standard Cab" in the listings, but paired with a letter. Since this is a special order truck, perhaps they did things differently but afaik that is usually not the case.
7 = Spicer model CM-5052A five speed direct transmission
HQN =
HQ = Eaton model 17121 single speed rear axle, 18,500lb capacity, 7.17 ratio
N = Ford 9,000lb capacity front axle with power steering
27500 = 27,500lbs GVWR
260749
26 = New Orleans District Code
0749 = Special Order Number
If anything doesn't match up, let me know. Some of this, like the axle code and special district code, are hard to read.
27.500 GVWR gives you CDL to deal with unless you will be exempt under one of your state's exemption policies.
