F10 = F100 2 wheel drive truck. J = 240 CI I -6, 1 bbl engine. E = built at Mahwah, NJ. 591XXX = built in Sept, 1964 as a '65 model year vehicle. 129 = wheelbase in inches. Color O = Lt. Peacock (I think). F100 = 5000 pound GVW truck. Body 381 = Standard Cab with medium green crush vinyl and medium green wicker pattern vinyl. Trans A = light duty 3 speed on the column. Axle 09 = 3.70 gears in a non- limited slip Ford 9 inch differential. Hope this helps.

 

Thanks SS, yeah this was in a wreckin yard, and had a 4wd steering wheel, with dually r\endalong with an extra rear axle mounted just under the back of the frame, with a contraption to lower\engage the wheels. Never seen that on a f100 tagged truck. Thanks for the help partner

 

Did you get the steering wheel ?? also, The L door could have been changed thus the rear axle and VIN not matching the truck,,,4 spoke wheels...17" were used on all F350 as well as the 4WD...except 66 F100...


= cs65

 

Thanks CS, when you say 4 spoke 17" wheels, do you mean the wheels or the steerin wheel? I didn't have my s\wheel puller so dont have it yet, but really want one for my 66 250. not a 4wd, but I just like the looks of the 4wd one. Anyway this truck really threw me when I saw it in the wreckin yard, f100 emblems, weird stuff under the frame, dual rear wheels (the big 6 luggers), straight frt. axle no radio holes, the steering colum had that spacer b\tween it and the dash- is that pre 61? also the fresh air vents were the straight rectangular type and not like my triangle ones-pre 61 also? I guess that door was a transplant- wasn't in the mood to waller in mud to locate the vin. Hey CS, how valuable are the dually wheels\front ones? have a great day

 

You might want to check that steering wheel for fit as it probably wont mount properly on your steering column in a standard F250. The base of the steering wheel diameter is wider on the gemmer 350 steering gear and column. If it doesnt fit you might be able to make a few bucks on ebay with it. Does it have an intact horn button and a blinker light lever Id be interested in those if you wanted to get those and sell them.

 

I'll see what I can get from them thanks for the info

 

Hey 99hosss I forgot to mention that the long airvents with the pull cables are from 61-64 and in some 4x4s or f350s. My 65 4wd f100 has a combination of both a long pull vent on the drivers side and the triangle one on the passanger side. If it has two pull cable air vents probably 61-4.

 

Thanks Buzz, I would like to put those long air vents on my 66, how did you convert yours?
