Just bought a 78 f700 dump, looking for brake parts but can't figure what to order. VIN f70fvaho435, would someone be able to decode this vin?

Welcome to FTE!

The VIN isn't going to get you brake info. You will need to pull wheels and see what width shoe you have. Drums are said to be not available.

F70 = F700 gas

F = 391 4V XD FT gas V8

V = Kentucky Truck plant

AH0435 = 1978 series number

NAPA online shows the other parts. You have to change the vehicle type to "Medium/Heavy" to get the larger truck info:

Thanks! I saw those earlier and they say they are air brakes, don't know if it makes a difference?

I'm sure it makes a difference. I didn't see that when I posted in post 4.

I can't find anything, let me try a little more searching.

Post 5 has some info:

Others may come along with better sources. Getting your shoes relined is probably going to be an attractive option.
