Thank you.
Im actually mostly curious in the year.
That emissions control tag says 1980 so I’m assuming that’s what year the vehicle was.

It is an 1980--the last year for the 11 digit VIN.

U90 = LT900 diesel, tandem axles. Probably badged as LT9000

J = Detroit model 6-71N 426 CID six cylinder two stroke diesel, non-turbo

V = Kentucky Truck Plant

JG5313 = 1980 numerical series

2K = Candyapple Red

204 = 204 inch wheelbase

U904 = LT900 diesel, 50,000 lbs GVWR

DZ8
D = I do not have upholstery info
Z = Ford internal use
8 = Standard cab, cab and chassis vehicle

FL = Fuller model RT-09513 thirteen speed overdrive transmission

AJP
AJ = Eaton model 38-DSC rear axles, 38,000 lbs capacity, 4.56 ratio
P = Rockwell (Timken) model FF-903 front axle, 12,000 lbs capacity, with power steering

B6 = Ford of Canada, Western (Ford) District Sales Office
