Ford 900 Help

Hey I am new here. I recently purchased what I was told is a 1972 Ford 900. It did not come with an ownership and finding info has been difficult. The VIN or serial number is N90KVM74685. Any help with some identification would be much appreciated.

Not getting a tittle is a problem. The state I live in a bonded tittle is how that is got around. Have no idea what is involved but know some people that have done it.

In the province I live in there is a process one can go through in order to acquire an ownership. I would normally just pull a "lost" and have the previous owner sign for the transfer but for some reason the VIN doesn't appear in the ministry computer system. It wasn't all that long ago this truck was in service. I figure the first step is to see if the information from the door tag matches what is actually installed on the truck.

Which province? If it's Alberta, PM me, there's an easy nearly legal solution....

N90KVM74685

N90 = LN900 gas

K = 477 4V Super Duty gas V8

V = Kentucky Truck Plant

M74685 = 1972 numerical series, September 1971 production.

If the warranty tag is still on the door, trans, axle and other info can be decoded.
