Welcome to FTE

I can decode the VIN, but not the other codes on the owner card.

You sure you have an F600 (2 1/2 ton truck with dual rear wheels)? This owner card is not for an F600, it's for an F100!

F100's are rated as 1/2 ton trucks, have 5 lug wheels on a 5.50" bolt circle, commonly come as Flareside or Styleside pickups.

F10 = F100 2WD

D = 352 2V

R = San Jose CA Assembly Plant.

637142 = 1965, assembled January 1965.

btw: The Owner Card has 1 11 65 marked on it, which would be the "in service" date.

Warranty Plate located on the left door face below the latch, has the VIN and other codes stamped on it. Post what they are.

My former 1965 F100 352 Styleside pickup was also assembled January 1965 in San Jose. I bought it new at Stockton Quincy Ford in Westwood (West LA).

That's weird - There were two cards buried in the paperwork.

Plate:

F60AR674261
44 F602 K81 1 66E
20000 160 3800 712120

Warranty card:

F60AR674261 2120
MD 12D 66E L
04 30 65 71069 0

I've got a 3" file covering this truck from birth until last month.

27,000 original miles.

It was ordered by Monrovia FDept - Retired from active duty in 1985.

Used for parades and events until 1995 - Sold to the couple I bought it from.

Here is a link to some pics/plate/paperwork:

Awesome - Ive seen a few 4bl manifolds listed as small blocks that claim to be compatible with the 330 motor.

Didnt see any threads on upgrades. Is there no benefit...?

Ive been searching for a service manual source - Any recommendations?

Also - I searched for a transmission gasket / o ring set without any success.

And trying to figure out whether to rebuild or replace the wheel cylinders and master brake cylinders -

Please advise.
