different site that tells the rear axle and transmission

 

F10 = F100 2WD

G = 302 2V

P = Twin Cities Assembly Plant

G90061 = 1970

131" Wheelbase

PR: P = Boxwood Green // R = Yucatan Gold

F100 2WD / 5,000 lbs. GVWR

6 4: 6 = Medium Ivy Green Kiwi Vinyl & Light Ivy Green Diamond Basketweave Vinyl // 4 = Bench Seat

B = Are you sure the TRANS code is the letter B and not the letter G (C4)? I did a double take when I saw that code, because..

B = Borg-Warner T-85N 3 speed Overdrive which was not available with the 302 engine. See * below.

09 = Ford 9" / 3.70-1 / non Limited Slip / 3300 lb. Rear Axle Capacity

5,000 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating

152 (Net) HP @ 4,000 RPM

442587:

44 = Twin Cities Ford District Sales Zone Office, where the original selling dealer ordered the truck from.

2587: Domestic Special Order number. Your truck was ordered special by the original owner, not "bought off the lot."

* Considering this truck was a special order, and has that B TRANS code, it's possible this truck was ordered by and especially built for a Ford employee.

3 speed overdrive was available in cars with 289 engines, so...if this truck has overdrive...it was absolutely ordered special...most likely by a Ford employee at the Twin Cities Assembly Plant....which also built cars.

Ford...IMO, would not normally install this overdrive transmission with a 302 engine, especially for a member of the general public, because....

The T-85N overdrive was available with every other engine in 1970 F100's: 240/300 I-6's & 360/390 V8's.

 

Thank you NumberDummy and yes im sure that the trans code is B....

I would show you a picture of the vin code but cant seem to
figure out how to post them yet...ill work on that

 

I have a Vin that does not match the Engine unless i am doing something wrong.. Perhaps I need to look at the frame as my vin plate is a 'replacement' because the original has worn off.
F10ARK08393

What I know that i have (i assume different than vin),1970- F100 2WD Has a 302 in it with 3.89:1 rear end and a 3 speed auto. Came out of Cali

 

The VIN is embossed on the metal Warranty Plate, which is riveted on and located on the left door face below the latch.

The white "Safety" Certification Label (first used in 1970) also has the VIN on it.

I could see where this label is worn, but there is no way = none, that the Warranty Plate could be worn enough so the codes cannot be read.

All the codes were reverse stamped on the plate.

If the VIN on the Warranty Plate does not match the VIN on the registration, someone replaced the left door due to it being damaged in an accident.

While not a common occurance, it isn't rare for this to have happened.

99% of the time when the left door was replaced with another used door, people did not install the original Warranty Plate on the replaced door.

The Warranty Plate, besides the VIN, has the following codes for the: W.B. (Wheelbase) / COLOR / MODEL / BODY / AXLE / TRANS / GVW / HP / RPM / DSO.

btw: I doubt the truck has a 3.89-1 rear axle ratio with an 302 & A/T.

btw, part II: The FTE VIN decoder has errors and lots of omissions. So DO NOT assume the info you get from the fracatta decoder is correct.

Post the VIN, Warranty Plate info. I use the appropriate Ford parts catalog to decode VIN's and other Warranty Plate info.

 

Thanks will do what I can.
I will take a picture of this plate as I can't read anything on it.
The engine is a small block V8, the original 3rd member was a 4.10:1 and is in my shed (original to me) the 3.89:1 cam out of a 72 F250 and was installed for fuel savings. I am tempted to think the engine is out of the 72 F250 also... so i have no idea what the CI is on it. when i purchased it the guy sold it as a 1970 F100 w/ original 289.... well that's all BS so i figured it was a 302..
I will dig around and see what i can find, if you have any other help please don't hesitate to request info.

F250's have 8 lug wheels and Dana 60 rear ends.

Not one part of a Dana 60 is the same as the Ford 9 inch installed in F100's.

Dana 60's have an inspection cover, Ford 9 inchers do not.

F250's did not come with 302 engines until the 1980's.

No Ford F Series truck ever came with a 289, either. 1963/68 Passenger Cars & 1965/68 Ranchero's only.

Valve cover bolt holes per side: 352/360/390 = 5 // 221/260/289/302/351W = 6 // 429/460 = 7 // 351C/351M/400 = 8.

No 221/260/289 in trucks / 302 = 1969/96 / No 351C's in trucks / No 351W's until 1981 / No 429's in trucks / 352 = 1965/67 / 360/390 = 1968/76 / 351M/400 = 1977/82 / 460 = 1973/97.

 

Going to try pictures here.

That did not work, How do i post pictures or can I email them to you?
The pictures are of the Vin Plate , Replacement Vin Plate and Engine Plate all 3 on the drivers door piller.

When getting U-Joints for the rear end to drive shaft I have to get one for a 1972 F250 only thing that would fit. so that leads me to beleive the 3rd member is from a 1972 F250. The Truck came with a bed full of spare parts that came off of a 1972 F250 and i have the documents for that truck too.

I will check the valve covers but it looks like 6 bolts from memory.

I knew the thing about the 289, the dealer tells me only ford trucks from Mexico came with the 289 they supported this with the engine code on the computer saying MEX...

I will send you pics of the Plates if you send me your email addy..
