what year is it?

I bought a 70's F350 and I would like to know what year it is. The problem is...they guy I bought it from put the cab and front clip from a '78 F150 on the chassis and titled it that way. The truck has an FE with a 4 spd. and rear PTO. It also has drums up front. The VIN on the frame is long gone, I just want to narrow this down to a few model years so I can have some idea what to tell the parts guy. Are there any tags or numbers anywhere that I can use? Thanks!!!

Take some pictures, post them to your gallery & let us look.

Pictures are worth a 1000 words.

I believe there is a VIN number stamped into the top of the passenger side frame rail between the front axle and the rad support. Might try looking for that and posting it.

Is it a 2wd or 4x4? I'm not sure if this applies to F350s but, weren't discs standard in '73 for 2wd and '76 for 4x4? So it would be before that...

He stated in his post that the Frame Vin # was LONG GONE.

No big deal.


I wonder if he knows about the VIN # under the cab?
He did use the singular term.

Excellent Sig,btw

On the frame under the cab.
Maybe someone will stop by who knows exactly where it is located.

Photgraph, anything you want identified.
