Newbie here!

Hello everyone! Been watching this site or lurking the site as I have read before and just bought a older ford f250 camper special. From what I can see it has a 390 in it(engine tag), now I know it could have been changed many years ago of course. I honestly think the pickup hit a soft spot of mine because it's a total basket case. But my real question is: can anyone i.d my vin please? F25YRH97227. I really appreciate it as I have searched high and low to really nail down the year. Also 1 last question,, can this truck be converted from a 2 battery system to 1?
thank you guys.

Yes. Odds are good that the second battery was intended to power the camper only, saving the engine battery for car stuff like starting, lights, etc. Back in the day, many cabover campers didn't have a battery location built in.

Welcome aboard!
