It cannot be a 1975 with that cog emblem. It is more than likely mis-labeled. It does appear to be a 1974. Low badge and low keyhole.

The chipped paint on the wheel and on the fender is identical.

Maybe it was restored with the cog emblem added; possibly due to parts that were sourced or the upgraded liked it?

According to this 1975 Ford truck shop manual, page 10-00-6: https://www.forelpublishing.com/demo/Demo20075.pdf

E is a 361 cubic inch V-8
F is a 391 cubic inch V-8

Either the listing made a typo in the VIN or in the displacement, or the engine was swapped at some point.
