vin #help???

ok, have truck home now, the 1972 ford dump body, what trip.. the wiring has the nutter bypass in the cab and the upper column bearing is missing hehe , it was a 2 hander all the way home (is the steering wheel supposed to upside down when going straight i thinks it needs an alignment) any way the question i have is... the vin# is F37YEP60***, after looking I am still confused about the F37 when the truck is an F350. I am sorry for being a schlep, but Fords are new to me. thanks in advance, steve

It shows F35 for the 350, I'm going to guess that F37 means one ton dually.

F37 No mention of this in the 64-72 book? Only F35 =64 up F350
I did find mention of the F37 in the 73 to 79 book showing that it references to a chassis and cab F350. So you may have a mid to late 72 with a bit of the 73 technology

F-370 6,600
F-371 8,000
F-372 8,300
F-373 9,000
F-374 10,000
F-375* 10,000
F-376* 9,000

as per Keith's vin data page here....

FYI: my F250 4x4 has a starting Vin of F-26xxxxx. its a way to ID the chassis model

Okay, I didn't originally scroll down far enough.
Learn something new everyday, I had thought all one tons, (duallys), were rated at 10,000.

ok I finally found the vin tag under 30 layers of paint here it is,
135" WB, used to be rangoon red with black vinyl interior, F374, NP435 trans with PTO, Dana 70 rear with 4:10, Chassis cab built in mahwah NJ JUL 1972, GVW 10,000 with a 360. whew!! now where do I find doors? steve

[FORDification]

The doors from any '68-'72 F100-F350 doors will work just fine. (The '67 doors will bolt on correctly, but have a different style of interior door release handle, and there's no lock button.)
