I just purchased a 70’s model C-700. It has a 361 in it and a dump bed. I was hoping to get help in deciding the vin/ warranty tag? I’ve attached a few pictures. Thanks! Steve
Welcome to FTE. This was posted in a test forum, hence the delay.
C70 = C700 gas
W = 361 2V "Low Propane Gas" DSO engine
V = Kentucky Truck Plant
S36541 = 1973 numerical series, July 1973 production
175 = 175 inch wheelbase
No color code but looks to have been white as OEM, based on interior pictures
C707 = C700 gas, 23,000 lbs GVWR
118
11 = Medium or Light Gray Vinyl
8 = Standard cab, cab and chassis vehicle, cataloged as "91A".
A = New Process model 435 four speed transmission
544
54 = Rockwell (Timken) model H-170 single speed rear axle, 17,500 lbs capacity, 6.83 ratio
4 = Ford 7,000 lb capacity front axle without power steering. (Your engine pic shows a power steering reservoir so,,,,???)
23000 = 23,000 lbs GVWR
220805
22 = Charlotte District Sales Office
0805 = Special Order Number
Looks like a regular gas tank, so maybe it was repowered or just converted back to gas at some point.
The air cleaner appears to be '75-on going by what looks like 7/16" head bolts holding the (gutted = non-functional) air intake snorkel to the main body; my '73 has smaller screws there instead of 1/4-20s and I ran into that difference when I chased down a functional/complete snorkel for mine. That fuel tank looks like it was a step tank from a larger model, modified to be a saddle tank. Helluva big reservoir for the hoist. I wonder what the cylindrical tank ahead of the hoist reservoir is for, as it's not air brake equipped. I like the rear gates, wish mine had something like that.
