F60 = F600 gas, 4x2

D = 330 2V HD FT gas V8

C = Ontario Truck Plant

Q51891 = 1973 numerical series, October 1972 production

176 = 176 inch wheelbase

6 = Bright Medium Blue

F601 = F600 gas, 4x2, 17,000 lbs GVWR

4 8
4 = Black Vinyl
8 = Standard cab

P = Warner model T19 4 speed all synchro transmission (this code also used for a C6 three speed automatic but I doubt they put those in this size truck behind a 330 with a two speed axle)

F3J
F3 = Eaton model 15201 two speed rear axle, 15,000 lbs capacity, 6.33 / 8.81 ratios
J = Ford 5,000 lb capacity front axle with power steering

17000 = 17,000 lbs GVWR

A4 = Ford of Canada, Midwestern (Lincoln-Mercury) District Sales Office

No special order.
