Need help decoding this C750 ID plate...

Seen this old C750 dump truck that caught my eye the other day, that appears to have been a farmer's grain truck at one time.
Made sure to take a picture of the ID plate...

Welcome to FTE!

C76 = C750

F = 391 4V FT gas V8

V = Kentucky Truck Plant

H40767 = 1970 numerical series, January 1970 production

135 = 135 inch wheelbase

C = "Special white".

C760 = C750 gas, 27,500 lbs GVWR

118 = Possibly gray interior, standard tilt cab, cab and chassis

2 = Clark model 282V five speed direct transmission

HHN
HH = Eaton model 17221 Two Speed Rear Axle / 7.17 / 9.77 ratios / 18,500 lbs. Rear Axle Capacity.

N = Ford-Rockwell/Timken 9,000 lbs. Capacity Front Axle with Power Steering.

27500 = 27,500 lbs GVWR

199 3800 = 199 certified net HP @ 3800 RPM

870238
87 = Body company

0238 = Special Order number

Body company could have been Omaha Standard, the brand on the bed.

Dayton style wheels are a plus, no widowmakers and if they are not already, you can change the rims to tubeless if you want.

27,500 GVWR, cdl required unless you have a Ag or other exemption in your state.

Shifting those is an art.

Shifting the two speed is also--if you are not familiar, check out the Eaton videos:
