I can practically do the Vin#'s from memory.
You can use this for the VIN#
http://www.medicine.wisc.edu/~mrm/bronco/ftvin.cgi
but you will need to post the rest of the info for decoding.
NOTE:
The 351C was Never ever put in a Truck.Plus they ended producstion in about 1973 with Mustangs & other cars
The 351W was never ever put in 70's trucks. Only 70's E-series vans
The 351W has a wet intake manifold (coolant flows through passages in it)
The 351C & 351M have dry intakes (No coolant passages)
The 351M was first put in 1977 trucks.
