For clarity I'm going to give you your own thread, and make two posts for the decodes.

https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.for...041a3fdd3.jpeg

N90LVJ20265, "Red"

N90 = LN900 gas

L = 534 4V Super Duty gas (& plenty of it) V8

V = Kentucky Truck Plant

J20265 = 1970 numerical series, May 1970 production

150 = 150 inch wheelbase

J = Red

N904 = LN900 gas, 30,000 lbs GVWR, model years '70-'72

1E8 = Standard cab without butterfly hood.

N = Dana (Spicer) model 6352 five speed direct transmission

DP5
DP = Eaton model 19221 two speed rear axle, 23,000 lbs capacity, 6.17 / 8.40 ratios
5 = Ford 9,000 lb capacity front axle without power steering

30000 = 30,000 lbs GVWR

235 3000 = 235 certified net HP @ 3000 RPM

380537
38 = Pittsburgh District Sales Office
0537 = Special Order Number

N90KVW25700 "Yellow"

N90 = LN900 gas

K = 477 4V Super Duty gas V8

V = Kentucky Truck Plant

W25700 = 1975 numerical series, January 1975 production

138 = 138 inch wheelbase

T = Red (?--unless this is repainted, which given the paint near the warranty plate and the original rivets seems unlikely, perhaps it's a typo. "G", just under "T" on the keyboard, is Chrome Yellow)

N902 = LN900 gas, 27,500 lbs GVWR

8A8 = Standard Cab without butterfly hood

U = Dana (Spicer) model 6852-G five speed direct transmission

GB5
