"14F - assembled June 14, 1951 <probably> (Ford used this old serial string until Sept 15, 1951)"
Did they really assemble a '50 truck in '51?

Not much by the serial number but the firewall stamping is helpful.

A - color Raven Black
NR - Norfolk, VA assembly plant

I was doing more research on my 98RTL VIN with 226 that appears factory..
Came across this old listing for V8 F4 with 98RTL VIN also.

I guess I don't know all your history of info, but 98RTL should indicate a 239 V8 as in the link posted.
The 226 I6 was set up differently - battery and starter solenoid on the driver's side.
Is that what you have? If so, it's quite possible your truck should have serial prefix of 97HTL and was mis-stamped.

I read my firewall stamp 2 DL D 11 over 2012
Worked on my FW some today. I found my FW Stamp for those that are trying to do a data base of this information. But first my serial # again is 98RC179143. The brake down of the FW Stamp
2 DL D 11 - 2012
2 = Vermillion Red
DL = Dallas
D = April
11 = 11th Day
2012 =
the funny thing to me is that Bobbytnm (found his info on post #35) was born after mine by a month but his last 4 numbers are 1008 lower than mine.
