Help identifying USAF 10 ton truck markings / history

Can anyone tell me more about these markings? Door of the truck reads 86X09850. Other area reads 87L 790 US Air Force
Thanks

Any ideas on this?

obviously the truck is usaf and should be a 1987 model. the 790 is the completion of the inventory number 87L790. I would assume that the 86 number series is an inventory number too but maybe a replaced part like a fender etc. just a guess as to why they don't correspond but definitly inventory numbers

Agreed with chaplain. The 87 or first two digits are the year that the item was brought into Air Force inventory. It may not correspond with the year of mfg.
