F600 Vin Decoding help



Hello everyone, recently purchased my first Large F series truck. Seller told me it was a 78 but my valve cover has me led to believe it is a 76 or has been engine swap. Can anyone decode this Vin for me! Wanting to get it registered and need the bill of sale correct first try. Thank you!

Welcome to FTE! I moved you here as this is the forum for your truck.

F61 = F600 gas, 4x2

D = 330 2V XD FT gas V8

V = Kentucky Truck Plant

C51312 = 1976 numerical series, June 1976 production

182 = 182 inch wheelbase

C = Special White

F611 = F600 gas, 4x2, 20200 lbs GVWR

DG8
DG = Medium Green upholstry
8 = Custom Cab

A = New Process model 435 four speed transmission

F3L
F3 = Eaton model 15201 two speed rear axle, 15,000 lbs capacity, 6.33 / 8.81 ratios
L = Ford 6,000 lb capacity front axle with power steering

20200 = 20,200 lbs GVWR

289222
28 = Louisville District Sales Office
9222 = Special Order Number.

Any plans for it? Does it have a flat bed or dump bed?
