1975 F500
C = 330 2V MD FT gas V8 (cast FE crank, oil pump, distributor, possibly water pump and some other items)
V = Kentucy Truck Plant
W21122 = 1975 numerical series, January 1975 production
158 = 158 inch wheelbase
No color code. This is a special order truck and the color was probably part of that.
F501 = F500 chassis and cab, 16,000 lbs GVWR
238
2 = possibly blue interior (I don't have complete info on this)
3 = Ford use
8 = Standard cab without back of cab equipment--cab and chassis in other words.
A = New Process model 435 four speed manual transmission
42J
42 = Rockwell (Timken) model D-140 single speed rear axle, 13,000 lbs capacity, 6.20 ratio
J = Ford front axle with power steering. No capacity given, probably 4,500 lbs.
16000 = 16,000 lbs GVWR
838006
83 = Government
8006 = Special Order Number
Surprised it has a V8 being a gov't truck.
Do you have a title for it? Research that before you spend a dime. No sense spending money on something you can't register.

Thank you for the info. No, I don't have a title for it and was going to apply for a bonded title or Vermont title.
