It appears to be a Ford Australia Identification Plate
At a rough guess, I would say this was from the 60s...

Prefix: AK1KGL A means it was manufactured in USA but assembled locally, "K" indicates it was assembled in Sydney.
1K Is the model, I believe that is an F700.
GL is the year and month. I believe it is May 1967.

SERIAL: 24288 I believe that units of each model were number sequentially, so you could probably tell more from this if you knew the allocation.

SIDO: 4Q3254 This is the unique dealer's order.

MODEL: 73753T?? 73753 Indicates it was a F700 Cab-Chassis with the 194 inch wheelbase.

ENGINE: T Not 100% but I believe this was the FT 330, a heavy duty version of the FE.

TRANS: F Borg-Warner 4spd T-18 h/duty truck transmission

R AX: H

FR AX: G

PAINT: E White

TRIM: Y "Palomino"

Brake Booster: D

GVW: 23000 pounds

NET HP: "" I believe it was 190bhp

RPM: "" @4,000rpm

SVO: ""

i hate to say but it wasnt a useless answer and if youd posted a better pic some of us may have been able to assist earlier as i couldnt even read the plate my self so why go to the trouble to help
i even know where and how to access Paulls treasure trove of info and had seen your post prier to any other comments
and with replys like this , this is why help can be hard to get at times

Well not everyone is computer savvy in doing this.
I think the OP was bit too harsh with his comment to Tassie f100, did not see tassie post being abusive.

I understand that, it wasn't long ago that I though image hosting and editing was voodoo, until someone on the forum was good enough to run through it with me.
Turns out it takes as much time to help the guy out, giving some back in a sense than it does to sledge him on it.

Apologies for stating the obvious, but, if you don't already know "Ctrl + roll up" increases page size. That's all I did.
