data plate decode
I have a 1962 unibody vin/ f10JH206883 with data plate in glove box wb 114 color L model f-100 trans A Axel 11 114 hp @ 3600 rpm. I think it is pretty much original except it is now green and white. It looks like a 223 straight 6 with 3 on the tree. Is trans code A a light duty 3 speed manual and what is axel code 11. Also does color L mean Holly green only. also the cover around the speedometer and gauges is white. Would it originally have been green or chrome. I only found this forum a few days ago and love it. Thanks for any info. John

Hi John, Welcome to FTE!
okay, lets start with F10"JH" J=223 I6 and H= built in Lorain Ohio. "206883" built in Febuary 1962, Color L= Dark Green Trans A=3 speed standard. Axle code 11= 3.70 to 1 gears, 9 inch rear. white would be the correct color for the dash speedo if it's not a custom cab truck, custom cab's have a chrome piece.
Good Luck with your new project.

Thanks for the help. Just trying to learn as much as possible about the truck. I just started working on it. I am about to order a shop repair manual. Besides this forum are there any books, magazines or articles you would reccommend before I begin any serious repairs to the truck. I just tuned it and got the lights working. Compression on the cylinders is between 82 and 100. I plan on keeping the truck close to original and start on the brakes so I can drive it a little and then try to deal with the body work and rust. Thanks again. John
