The truck is a retired HD wrecker with twin booms... It is also a 4x4. with a IH front axel with lock outs. Truck is powered by a 390 4spd 2 spd transfer case... Frankenstein... Looking to see what the thing began its life as.. and to see what it was powered with..

F10 = F100 2WD
Y = 360 2V
E = Mahwah NJ Assembly Plant.
F51517 = 1969.
The VIN series code of F10 does not decode to "pickup" until 1973.
The VIN engine codes (Y in this case) do not list the HP or RPM or compression ratio.

1948/50 "RATING PLATE" info is not in my 1948/56 Ford fische. Sorry. You'll have to wait for ND to chime in. Or go to the correct board. This would be better. We here are 67/72 trucks.
