Makes sense...to me.

174" Wheelbase.

J = Rangoon Red.

F602 = F600 (gas), 20,000 lbs. GVWR

181: 1 = Light Gray Crush Vinyl & Light Gray Rib Pattern Vinyl / 81 = 81A Standard Cab.

F = Borg Warner T-98 4 Speed Manual Transmission.

F8: Eaton Model 13802 2 Speed Rear Axle / 6.33/8.81-1 / 15,000 lb. Rear Axle Capacity.

20,000 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.

132 net HP @ 3,600 RPM (262 1V I-6).

452235:

45 = Davenport IA Ford District Sales Office, where the original selling dealer ordered the truck from.

2235 = Domestic Special Order number. Your truck was special ordered by the original purchaser, not "bought off the lot."
