Hi! I recently bought a Ford Pickup, definitely a project, & I can only locate 1 vin plate on the driver's side door. Can anyone help me decode, please? MVD here in AZ is absolutely no help, & I have no title. It's F10BR567080.

Any help would be really appreciated. I've googled online but get mixed/conflicting information. Thank you!

 

If u can post a pic of the id plate we can help u more

 

Half ton 2wd 262 made in st jose

 

I can help you with title issue as going thru that right now myself. Do not have my books avail at moment but would appear to be a 64' by the 567 VIN.
There is also a VIN on right frame rail. Send me a PM re: Title.

Where in AZ are you located?

 

Welcome to FTE

The only places the VIN will be found are on the Warranty Plate and stamped (hidden) atop the right (passenger) side frame rail either just in front of, or partially under the cab.

F10 = F100 2WD

B = 262 1V I-6.

R = San Jose CA Assembly Plant.

567080 = 1964, assembled July 1964.

 

Thank you everyone for all the info. I suspect the door (with plate) was a replacement of the original. Comparing photos of the front end & grille & the truck having a Twin I-beam suspension, appears to be a 1966 with a 1964 driver's door. Will have to find the vin on the frame rail to be sure. Will repost when I get to that. May be a while. Thanks again. Great forum.

 

The doors are the same: 1961/66 F100/1100 (except 1961/63 Uni, but will fit all, as the only dif is their straight thru scallop line) / 1967/69 F800/1000.

Peeps replaced damaged left doors with used doors. 99.9% of the time, they did not install the original Warranty Plate on the replaced door.

When this occurres, the VIN, all the codes on the Warranty Plate no longer match.

 

I was wondering if someone could help me decode my warranty plate? Warranty Number: F10JN422624 W.B.:114 Color: I Model: f100 Tran: A Axle: 12 Body: 66B Cert. Net: 114 H.P.: 3600 23

 

Welcome to FTE

F10 = F100 2WD

J = 223 1V I-6.

N = Norfolk VA Assembly Plant.

422624 = 1963, assembled June 1963.

114" Wheelbase.

I = No such COLOR code.*

F100 2WD, 5,000 GVWR

66B = Uni Custom Cab.

A = Ford type 3.03 3 Speed Manual all Syncromesh Transmission.

12 = Ford 9" Rear Axle / 3.89-1 / No Limited Slip / 3,300 lbs. Rear Axle Capacity.

5,000 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.

114 net HP @ 3,600 RPM

23 = Philadelphia PA Ford District Sales Office, where the original selling dealer ordered the truck from.

* The COLOR code cannot be an I / It might be an L = Holly Green or a T = Sandshell Beige. If neither, take a close look and post what it actually is.

 

Thanks so much for your help. Ill take a closer look at the color type again. Also the grill has me puzzled it looks like almost like it had a 64 front put on it. what would be the odds of that from factory do you think?

 

All 1961/66 grilles will interchange, so it's possible that due to an accident, a body shop installed a 1964 grille, because they were unable to find a 1963 original.

Or a previous owner liked the looks of the 1964 grille better.

1961-1964's have the parking lamps within the grille, 1965/66's have the parking lamps mounted above in the upper grille panel.

Left: 1964/66 / Right: 1961/63.

 

ND, so my grille looks like a 61-63, right? I wonder what the heck I have now. I think i'll get a picture of my tag and have you guys translate for me. and i better look for that other plate.

 

If you look at the parts catalog pic, you can see that the 1961 grille (F O R D in center) is different than 1962, the 1962 grille (star [+] in center) is different than 1963.

 

can anyone tell me the exact date my truck was built.
date code 03K
sequential # 13173

 

03K = October 3, 1959
