Welcome back! Quite a dry spell you've had....

F61 = F600 gas, 4x2

D = 330 2V HD FT gas V8

C = Ontario Truck Plant

J83288 = 1971 numerical series, July 1970 production

F3C
F3 = Eaton model 15201 Two Speed Rear Axle / 6.33/8.81 / 17,000 lbs. Rear Axle Capacity

C = Ford front axle, 6,000 lbs capacity

Let me know if you need anything else off that tag.....

Thanks 85e150 for all you do here, it's much appreciated. Yes, I've been away for a bit but I log in now and again. My project is on the back burner unfortunately. The plan is to get back at it next summer/fall. The truck I inquired about will help finish work around the place so I can get into my new shop. Thanks again!
