Help Decoding My Vin

What does my vin mean. Here is how it is written on the truck: F10YK845294. Any help would be appreciated. Also what is a good site to use to decode it myself.

F10 = F100 two wheel drive truck. Y = 352 cubic inch 2 bbl V8. K = built in Kansas City. 845294 = built in April, 1966. If you post the rest of your data plate here, someone will decode it for you. There are sites for this purpose, but our leader in decoding, Number Dummy, points out that they are full of errors or incomplete information. His primary source (and mine) is the 1964-72 Ford Truck Master Parts and Accessories Catalog available on CD-ROM from several vendors,such as NPD, for low $20 range. If you are planning an extensive restoration of your truck this is a great source as an illustrated parts breakdown and part number reference. Another source and useful collection of information is the 1966 Ford Truck Factory Workshop Manual, again available from several vendors. Hope this helps.
