Hello - I own some land with this abandoned truck on it and was curious what year it is and any other information I could get on it. Thanks!

 

1973 with 391 engine ,9,000 front end ,7.60 rear gear ratio,clark 5 speed ,direct drive

 

Thank you!

 

I'll get the rest tomorrow.

 

Welcome to FTE!

Not an F800. (title changed for clarity)

S81 = LNT800 gas (Should be S80 for that year per MPC, as they show S81 starting in 1975. Another mystery) "T" for tandem axles

F = 391 4V FT gas V8

V = Kentucky Truck Plant

R77119 = 1973 numerical series, April 1973 production

222 = 222 inch wheelbase

L = Holly Green, or Dark Green

S811 = LNT800 gas, 41,000 lbs GVWR

AC8
AC = Medium Gray Vinyl
8 = Custom Cab without butterfly hood

M = Clark model 285V five speed direct transmission

GCN
GC = Eaton model 30-DSC rear axles, 32,000 lbs capacity, 7.60 ratio
N = Ford 9,000 lb capacity front axle with power steering

41000 = 41,000 lbs GVWR

580770
58 = Twin Cities District Sales Office
0770 = Special Order Number. No info available on this.

 

That would be slow and thirsty.

Good luck with it--whatever you're going to do with it. Quite a landmark out in a field I'd bet....

 

why wasn't a bigger 534 engine not used in a truck like this ?
