I think the door came from a 1978 supercab F-250 with a 400 in it...


and the doorframe shows a 1978 F-250 4x4 with a 351 from canada...

Yeah, i just now found the decoder link, guess penn-dot traded some parts out when it was a plow, of course the bed that was on it when i got it was found in a field while the guy was out wheelin, him and his friend set it on the back, and took off....so who knows what parts are on it, but the cab numbers match my title so im happy......crazy they would order 3:54 gears for a backwoods mountain plow....i got my eye on some 4:11's .....
