Welcome to FTE! I moved you here for the decode as this is the place for your truck, which is an LN700. Not an F series--

N70 = LN700 gas

E = 361 2V FT gas V8

V = Kentucky Truck Plant

T88627 = 1974 numerical series, February 1974 production.

220 = 220 inch wheelbase

M = White

N702 = LN700 gas, 23,000 lbs GVWR

4A8
4A = Black Vinyl
8 = Standard cab without butterfly hood, cab and chassis vehicle

M = Clark model 285V five speed direct transmission

HQZ
HQ = Eaton model 17121 two speed rear axle, 18,500 lbs capacity, 7.17 / 9.77 ratios
Z = Domestic Special Order axle (The axle should have identifying marks stamped or cast into it, perhaps a label riveted to it)

23000 = 23,000 lbs GVWR

480107 (hard to read)
48 = Detroit District Sales Office
0107 = Special Order Number
