F26 = 4wd F-250. Y = 360. K = Kansas City plant. P26,xxx = May 1972. For its full birth certificate, pull a Marti Report. Look it up. If you pull one, please upload the info here to flesh out the data base:

All the 4wd's had New Process 435's until 1979 when Ford went to Borg-Warner T-18's. The TC is a Dana 24.
