197X F-600 Dump Truck Info

Hi everyone I semi-recently purchased a 1972(I think) F-600 for $500. It ran decent and I drove it 150 miles back to my house but not before it spewed several gallons of oil So I'm looking at getting it running good now just gave it a fresh oil change and started it up and its running on only the left bank But before I tackle that I need a vin decode on it. It is as follows F61CRK62870 174 M F610 4B8 A F3C 21000 164 3800 71

So I'm looking at getting it running good now, just gave it a fresh oil change and started it up and it's running on only the left bank.

But before I tackle that, I need a VIN decode.
See your post in the "If you need any info" thread, where you posted a pic of the Warranty Plate, for the decode.

A quick question on the 2 Speed Axles on these. Mine doesnt work and I was checking the wires today and I have no power to the middle terminal(Green).

Does the hot at the switch go through a fuse at the fuse box on the passenger side and then over to the key or is there a fusible link somewhere else? Thanks in advance
