Hey ND, if you have a minute could you decode this thing for me? Sure would appreciate it. The one item that sort of puzzles me is the body code. The truck is pretty stock and is definitely a CC but you have said before that the codes were 81 a or 81 B? Standard or CC if I remember correctly. This one is E 81, anyway here's the whole bunch, Thanks Russ.

VIN F10CE 543883

Body Tag W.B. 114, Color M, Model F 100, Body E 81, Trans D, Axle 12
DSO 26

The carpet, sun visors, dashpad are all black. The lower dash is Maroon, seat door inserts and door map pockets are maroon/red. The headliner, which looks to be original is a type of gray velour. It is not gray perforated as I've read on here before on CC.

 

F10=F100 4x2
C=292ci V8
E=Mahwah, NJ assembly plant
543883=Assembled June 1964
114= Wheelbase
M=Wimbledon White
F100=5000lb GVW
E81=Red upholstery

E81: E = Red Crush Vinyl & Red Check Stripe Woven Plastic // 81 = 81B Custom Cab.

D = Warner T-89 3 Speed Medium Duty Manual Transmission (non syncro 1st gear).

Thie T-89 was an extra cost option over the Ford type 3.03 3 speed manual all syncromesh trans that was standard equipment.

12 = Ford 9" Rear Axle / 3.89-1 / non Limited Slip / 3,300 lb. Rear Axle Capacity.

The original Custom Cab headliner was perforated cardboard. There was no such thing as a velour headliner in any truck thru (at least) 1972.

The headliner was 4 separate pieces. 2 pieces (R/L specific) fit into the cab corners. 1 large piece covered most of the roof. U shaped clips retained the short rear section the dome lamp is fastened to, to the front section.

The zippered door pockets were first offered in 1963. While they could be ordered with the truck (either a Custom or Standard Cab), they were also available at the parts counter.

If purchased at the parts counter, the chrome plastic surround moulding was an additional charge, since the pocket didn't as a kit.

The padded dash was only available in black. Since the interior color is red, the sunvisors should also be red.

Only '65/66 Rangers came with a carpet. 1961/64 Standard and Custom Cabs came with a black floormat, as did 1965/66 Standard Cabs & F350/1100 Custom Cabs.

1965/66 F100/250 Custom Cabs offered 4 different colored floor mats (depending on the interior color) w/black specks.

People swap parts around, and I'm as guilty of this as others. In 1981/83, I did a frame off resto on my 1965 F100 Standard Cab (I bought it new) using only genuine Ford parts.

I changed it to a Custom Cab, adding all the CC features, plus options/accessories that were available back then, but the truck didn't come with including a chrome front bumper and A/C.

I bored the original 352 (w/157,000 miles) out to 390 standard, installed 390 pistons/crank/rods. There was next to no taper...one reason, it had the T-85N overdrive...and still did when I sold it 11/2009.
