year of manufacture

[brownsmule]

Looked at a Ford 3000 yesterday. 8 H 29 serial # B 856657 2500 hours factory crate replacement engine no brakes
the clutch is either stuck to the flywheel or the pressure plate is bad
the decal for shift pattern is bad so I don't know if it is a 3 or 4 speed with L/H

question is: what year was it made

thanks

Looks like 1968 Aug 29th....

8 = 1968 , H = Aug , 29 = day of month ...


Here's a link that explains these pretty well ..
