This truck was built in Aug '63 and owner says it was sold in July '63 and claims its a '63 year model. Ford : F-100 Flareside in Ford | eBay Motors

 

F10JR445217
J = 61-64 223 CID
R = San Jose
445217 = Aug 63
August 63 build numbers are 445001 - 449999
Puts the build date for a 64 model.

 

If Warranty Plate located on left door face below the latch: Compare the VIN on the Warranty Plate to the VIN on the registration/title to see if they match.

People replaced damaged left doors with used doors. 99.9% of the time, they failed to install the original Warranty Plates on the replaced doors.

Why is it that when peeps post ads, they don't proof read them first? Impossible: F10JR445217 = Assembled in August 1963, sold in July 1963!

440,000-445,000 = 1963, assembled August 1963.

445,001-449,999 = 1964, assembled August 1963.
