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.

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: ""

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