Hey Dave if you have the warranty tag on the drivers door just under the door latching mechanisum still available to you and it matches the vin # on the title. Post it up along with all the other #s on the plate and Bill aka (NumbersDummy) might be along momentarily to interprate all the numbers for you.

Welcome to FTE

All trucks, Econolines and Bronco's thru 1980 have an 11 digit VIN. 17 digits from 1981 thru today.

Passenger Cars thru 1979 have a different VIN sequence than trucks. 1980 thru today have 17 digit VIN's.

F10 = F100 2WD

J = 223 1V I-6.

E = Mahwah NJ Assembly Plant.

565963 = 1964 Numerical Sequence of Assembly (July 1964), the trucks specific serial number.

1965 Mustang VIN example: 5E08C123456 / 5 = 1965 / E = Mahwah NJ / 08 = Convertible, Body Style 76A / C = 289 2V / 123456 = 1965 Numerical Sequence of Assembly.
