Another request for VIN/Door tag help.

Well.....I had such great luck getting some info from a door tag recently from posting here (thanks @85e150 ) I figured I'd go ahead and see about enlisting your help once more.

I can look up the VIN but I don't know where to find the Trans and Axle codes on this truck.....



Sorry for the bad quality image. Not my phone.

1FD = Ford Motor Co USA incomplete vehicle

N = Class 6, 19,501-26,000lbs GVWR

F7Q is not listed. None of the model numbers for this series are in the letter number letter format. It should be F70 but it sure looks like F7Q. Look on the next line for "Type/GVW" where it shows "F70231"

F70 = F700 gas

H = All versions of the 370, same as your prior truck decode.

8 = Check digit, ignore

G = 1986 model year

V = Kentucky Truck Plant

A12960 = Numerical sequence of assembly

9E = Special White

87 = Body company (sold to fire truck or moving van manufacturer for example)

189 = 189 inch wheelbase

F70231
F70 = F700 gas, 21,200lbs GVWR
231 = 23,100lbs GVWR (conflicting info--could be the label, could be the MPC copy that I am viewing. Since it isn't a special order truck that's all I can figure is a typo in one place or the other, probably the MPC.

BK8 = Standard cab. I do not have upholstery or seat info.

SP = Spicer model CM4054D five speed transmission

E0M
E0 = Eaton model 16244 two speed rear axle, 17,500lb capacity, 6.14/8.54 ratios
M = Ford 7,000lb capcity front axle with power steering


Let me know if something doesn't match up.

Good luck with it!
