The info is in the Master Parts Catalogs and shop manuals, short sample versions of which can be found on line. Links below:
N80FVCG6660
N80 = LN800 gas
F = 391 4V XD FT gas V8
V = Kentucky Truck Plant
CG6660 = 1978 numerical series, July 1978 production
You should have a warranty plate on the driver door. The VIN should match the title and the number stamped on the frame. There is axle, transmission and other info on that tag--you can post a picture of it if you like and we will decode it.
Here are the links as per above. In this case, the shop manual conflicts with the MPC. The series info and engine codes don't match. Based on what little I know, I would go with the MPC infomation.
Hey 85e150 I have the ID tags would you do me the honor of applying your magic to them? This is from my donor truck. This is the running truck you decoded before.
Note the tag is held on with screws--a sure sign it was removed either for painting or door replacement. Verify the VIN with the title and the frame rail stamping if possible. (RF near axle on top of the frame rail)
N80FVCG6660
N80 = LN800 gas
F = 391 4V XD FT gas V8
V = Kentucky Truck Plant
CG6660 = 1978 numerical series, July 1978 production
204 = 204 inch wheelbase
C = Special White
N804 = LN800 gas, 27,500 lbs GVWR
8A8
8A = upholstery and seat type, I do not have this info
8 = Standard cab without butterfly hood.
BM
B = This is usually the auxiliary transmission code. Some codes are for different equipment--in this case: Fan clutch less sound package -- OR -- engine less California emissions.
M = Clark model 285V five speed direct transmission
HHN
HH = Eaton model 17221 two speed rear axle. 18,500 lbs capacity, 7.17 / 9.77 ratios
N = Ford 9,000 lb capacity front axle with power steering (a 12,000 lb capacity axle with "Optional frame color and power steering" also comes up under this code, so check the axle for numbers if you need to service the axle)
N76 = LN750 gas (What year is this truck? 1967 and 1976 use some of the same sequential numbers, and there's a little conflict on the series/model number. EDIT: SEE POST 9)
F = 391 4V XD FT gas V8
V = Kentucky Truck Plant
B60820 = 1976 numerical series, February 1976 production
220 = 220 inch wheelbase
C3 Does it appear to be a two tone?
C = Special White
3 = Tan
N760 = LN700 gas, 27,500 lbs GVWR (This is a discrepancy in the MPC copy I have--the series IDs as a LN750, but the model as LN700. I would bet it's badged as LN750. Typo or error in the MPC)
8A8
8A --I do not have that info
8 = Standard cab without butterfly hood
JM
J = again, this is usually the aux. transmission, but in this case it indicates California emissions less fan clutch in MY '78, or just California emissions for MY '79. MY '76 isn't shown--possibly another typo or error.
M = Clark model 285V five speed direct transmission
HQN
HQ = Eaton model 17121 two speed rear axle, 18,500 lbs capacity, 7.17 is the only ratio showing but it is probably the same low range as others at 9.77 N = Ford 9,000 lb capacity front axle with power steering (a 12,000 lb capacity axle with "Optional frame color and power steering" also comes up under this code, so check the axle for numbers if you need to service the axle)
27500 = 27,500 lbs GVWR
72 = San Jose District Sales Office
Sorry for the delay.....

Reason: finish.
Your engine code of F is for a 391 4V. Do you still have a 4bbl carb on that engine?
As OEM, Ford offered Propane as a Domestic Special Order option. Your truck does not show a special order.
For that model year, the MPC shows a "Low propane gas" as a DSO for the following engines: Code J = 300 six, code M = 361 2V, code U = 330 2V, code W as 361 2V or 4V, and code X was 391 4V.
So if it was factory, you'd have one of those codes and a special order showing.
Look at the setup--I think you will find it will be removable and you can just run gas. Again, you should have a 4bbl carb, fuel lines, pump and tank. What condition those are in you'll have to determine--part of the fun and charm of an older vehicle.
