Might have better luck to ask the "big" truck folks. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum232/

Welcome to FTE. Moved to Large Truck.

N70 = 1973-on LN700 gas

E = 361 4V XD FT gas V8. They added "XD", taking the place of HD and for smog reasons also, maybe.....

V = Kentucky Truck Plant

CF2929 = 1978 numerical series

Is there a warranty plate on the door? That has transmission and axle and other info that can be decoded all for one low price.
OP has posted the tag below and so we continue:

202 = 202 inch wheelbase

M = White

N702 = LN700 gas, 23,000 lbs GVWR

8A8 = Standard cab without butterfly hood. I do not have uphostery or seat type info.

BM
B = This is usually an auxiliary transmission code. For '78 it is: "Fan clutch less sound package or engine less Calif. emissions"

M = Clark model 285V five speed direct transmission

52H
52 = Rockwell (Timken) model H-172 single speed rear axle, 17,500 lbs capacity, 5.83 ratio

H = Ford 12,000 lb capacity front axle, with a note saying: "Tire carrier with manual steering-with steer-ease".

23000 = 23,000 lbs GVWR

41 = Chicago District Code

If something doesn't line up, let me know and I will double check.
