today's work and VIN decode request

i took the day off from work so i could do alittle wrenching on my truck. i'm determined to get the grill, bumpers and side mirror brackets powder coated white. while i was at it i decided to remove the inner and outer fenders and radiator support. i'm gonna have the radiator support and inner fenders powder coated semi-gloss black. i've got to do a little weld repair where the battery area is. no big deal. i can't wait to put it all back together.

Now for VIN decode request. i'd be grateful if someone could shed some light on my VIN tag.

F25AR830310
color: 129 F250 body: 481 Trans: F Axle: 25
GVW: 07500 HP: 129 RPM: 4000 DSO: 720677

thanks in advance.

Your color code should be one or two letters, not 3 numbers. - http://www.tcpglobal.com/autocolorli...truck-pg01.jpg

thanks for the response. reviewing other postings on VINs, it appears that my truck does not have a color code. 129 is the wheelbase. the DSO suggests that it was a Dealer Special Order from dealer 72 (?) order number 0677

i still would like information on the Trans F and Axle 25

body 481 appears to be standard cab, tan seat

this is a great site. i really enjoy working on this truck. gonna do a little welding today.
