Good afternoon gentleman. I have a 68 F100 1/2 ton longbed Flareside 3 speed on the column standard brakes and steering, radio, heater. The engine is 360 cu. in. LD (I assume means light duty) V8 with a 2V carb 215 HP, 8.4:1 comp ratio with flex-o-matic rear suspenion. I have decoded my vin number already but there's a couple of codes I need decoded. I will list them as they are shown on my plate. The codes that are marked with * are the ones that I need decoded. In case you need my VIN # it's F10YCD54756

WD-----Color---Model----------Body-------------Trans-------Axle--------Max GVW Lbs

131------W*-----F100-----3*----81*------C*------17*-------------------------05000



Cert Net HP-----RPM-----------------DOS*

-----172---------03800------21*

I do need to say something about the color code W. In my 3 inch thick 1968 FORD TRUCK SHOP MANUAL it says that the color code W is yellow and when you pull up the 1968 Ford Color Chart on the web the W is meadowlark yellow with a base color of yellow. When I pulled the rear fenders, the underside was yellow along with the crossmember etc. The color of the truck is like a real lite cream color, not yellow. This truck has never been painted. Also as far as the other codes marked with an * I cannot find them in my manual unless I'm just looking under the wrong codes. Well I need to go for now gentleman. Thanks in advance gentleman for your help.
