Hi all, On my 1975 1/2 ton F-100 there is some question on engine and transmission. Is there a site where I can decode it. All I have found is that it is a 360 with 3 speed manual. It is in reality a 390 with a C-6. Thanks for any help. F1OYKV83685 WB 139 color G, Type/Gross Vehicle Wt. F103, Body4M, Trans C Axle17 DSO22 It is also an extended cab,(club cab)power steering,no a/c
