Help decode F5

Hi guys,

Ok it's hard as heck to read my data plate. I will try to post a picture, but not sure if I can.

I think it goes like this: F5R 1CH 25093

Think that sounds valid? Would it be a 51 F5 with a 239 v8 made in Chicago?

The plate in the glove box and there's one on the firewall, but they are both in bad shape. Just got the truck and it's real solid. Thought it was a 52 but I think it's a 51 now.

Thanks for your help.

25,093 = 1951 Numerical Sequence of Assembly, your trucks specific serial number.

CH = Chicago: 1924/52 / G = Chicago: 1953 thru today.
