Welcome to FTE!

F60 = F600, 2WD, gas

D = 330 2V HD "XD". Ford stated using "XD" for "Heavy Duty) in the mid '70s, possibly due to the differences made by smog equipment. They used "eXtra Duty" and "eXclusive Duty" also, possibly for U-Haul F350s with the 330.

V = Kentucky Truck Plant

A52202 = 1976 series number

158 = 158 inche wheelbase

W = Medium Ivy Bronze Metallic

F602 = F600 2WD gas, 19,200 lbs GVWR

AA8 = Regular cab, standard. I do not have upholstery and seat info.

A = New Process model 435 four speed transmission

64K
64 = Rockwell (Timken) model F-106 single speed rear axle, 15,000 lbs capacity, 6.80 ratio
K = Ford 5,500 lb capacity front axle with power steering

19200 = 19,200 lbs GVWR

542331
54 = Omaha District Code
2331 = Special Order Number

Color, engine, trans, axle codes are all there, so the special order must have been something else. AFAIK.

Let me know if something doesn't match up.

I should have the truck early in December. I am having it hauled since the carb is leaking badly from the front and the brakes are bad.
The carb I am told is a simple replacement diaphragm? But researching the brakes seems it could be many different issues. I will have to see when it gets to me..

Thank you,,

Dean in Ia

What kind of wheels? Brake parts can be had, sometimes through NAPA. BUT THERE ARE NO DRUMS. The good news is the drums are usually good.

Carb rebuild kit will have the parts to stop leaks. It should be a Holley 2bbl.
