Your F14 code is indeed a F150. No Ford F150 or F250 4X4 ever came down the assembly line with a 390 engine. Your only options were the 300 six cylinder or 360 V-8. 390 engines and 460's were available on two wheel drive models but only with a automatic transmissions. Ford used the New Process tranfer cases on the four wheel drives and I'm told they would not honor warranty on them with the 390's higher torque rating. Chevrolet offered the 400 V-8 with a 4 barrel carb so I don't know how they got around that as they used New Process cases also. I suspect they were desperate to offer a higher horspower as Ford passed Chervrolet in sales in 1976 something they brag about till this day. This was also the first year that disc brakes became standard equipment on a Ford four wheel drive. First year also of the F150 in a four wheel drive and this was mostly because the government required unleaded fuel on all vehicle with a gross vehicle weight rating under 6,000lbs and Ford didn't have any plans to make the 360 or 390 Fairlane Engines meet the required specs as the were phased out in favor of the 351M and 400M that would come in 1977. Many thought the 351M and 400M's were dogs compared to the 360 and 390 FE engines. I'm not sure wether or not they had Camper Special F150's. They had Camper Special F250's in both 2 wheel and 4 wheel drive models. My little brother is restoring a '78 F-250 crew cab(4 Full Door's) 4X4 Camper Special, that's a pretty rare duck. Ford also made a Super Camper Special with the altered wheel base only available in 3/4 ton and 1 ton two wheel drives. Also the 360 and 390 engines are identical except for the crankshaft and connecting rods(length changed). Many people will try to sell the trucks from this era as 390's when they are in fact 360's. There is not any way to tell other than pulling the oil pan and measuring the crankshaft, they even used the exact same pistons.
