F10 = 2 wheel drive F100 truck. Y = 352 cubic inch V8 2 bbl engine. D = built at Dallas, TX. 874465 = built in June, 1966. 129 = wheelbase in inches. HM = two tone exterior paint in Sahara Beige and Wimbledon White. F100 = 5000 pound GVW half ton truck. D81 = Custom Cab with medium beige crush vinyl and light beige cody pattern woven plastic interior. G = automatic transmission. A8 = Dana 44 limited slip rear axle with 3.54 gears. 5000 is the GVW in pounds. 172 @ 4000 is the NET horsepower rating for the engine and the rpms where it is developed. 75 = Phoenix, the district sales office from which your truck was ordered. Hope this helps.

1965/66 F100/350 352 with TRANS code G = MX Cruise-O-Matic.

The 1st digit of the BODY code only decodes to the seat upholstery, not to the entire interior.
