3rd Paint job?
The steering column and wheel are red (actually the wheel has been
worn thru its red outer coat revealing a turquoise coat which is again worn to a black color.)
there is a coat of red paint beneath its current paint, only seen at the front fenders in engine bay. I was assuming that it had only one repaint until now.
Thanks Man!

Need help decoding VIN
Can someone help me decode this VIN? F75FUC87634
I've looked in different places, but hard to decode the bigger trucks. I think it's a 1976 F750 built in Louisville, KY with a 361? The engine size is what I'm really trying to make sure of.
Thanks for any help.
Billy
