Decodeing a truck.

I found a 76 f250 with a code of F25YGBxxxxxx that I may use as a donor truck for my 1966 f100

I know it has an FE motor and a NP435 transmission, but I can't tell if its a 360 or 390, and if the NP435 is a granny box or not. the owner doesn't know, it runs but the brakes are bad, so can't drive it.

Any able to tell from the codes, or know what would be in one?

66Beater; I recommend you post that vin data up in a thread that covers 76 trucks; I bet someone there could help.

F25 = F250
Y = 360 FE (H is a 390)

NP435 = New Process, 4 speed, usually a granny 1st.
