Decoding vin number

I have a 1978 F700. The vin is F707VCF0693. I am trying to find out what motor I have. Can anyone help me out? Thanks

Welcome to FTE!

F70 = F700 gas

7 = Double check that. It decodes to either a Detroit 8V-71NE or INE. Since it's a gas model that's unlikely. The 361 2V FT gas engine shows under that code for 1976.

V = Kentucky Truck Plant

CF0693 = 1978 numerical series, June 1978 production

Is it a gas or diesel? A Detroit will be easy to ID but does not seem likely.

It's gas powered. More than likely It's a 361. Thanks for the help
