I was gonna attempt to help you with your vin #, but I'm not sure about this. Vin# is a 11 digit number which is also known as the serial number for the vechile, at least that's what I thought ...Got me, I thought they started with the letter ( F )....sorry.....

Barney:
First off, welcome aboard. Secondly, we ned more ifo I believe. Where did you find this number? If the driver door is original, the information we need is on the the tag number there. Let us know what you are looking at.

I have a book - "Catalog of Ford Truck ID Numbers 1946-1972 Pickup and Ranchero" by Cars and Parts Magazine that is accurate for the most part.

F10 F100 4X2
D 352 V8
L Michigan Truck assembly plant
689639 consecutive unit number for May 1965

So you do have a '65

Hi folks...I'm about as new as you can get at this. I just bought a 63 F100 SB stepside with the 223 (I think) and 3 sp stick. Vin is F10JN401894. Can anyone help with the code?

Rob
