Introduction & Decode Request

Hello all. I'm Lance a new member and recently acquired a '66 F-100 starter that's in really great shape for a starter project. Mechanically sound, mostly straight, and everything important works!

I'm just starting to figure out what direction I want to go with it for a project and would greatly appreciate it if someone could decode my warrantee info for me. I've been doing some digging and have managed decoding some of it, but I'd appreciate a sanity check and a filling if of the missing info.

Warantee Code F10AR764342

F10 F100 - 2 wd
A 240 cid 6 cylinder
R San Jose, CA
764342 Oct 1966

W.R. - 29 = ????
Color - M = Wimbledon White
Model - F100 = It's not a Falcon :P
Body - N81 = ????
Trans - C = 3 Speed light duty (any other details available?)
Axle - 09 = 3:70 (any other details available?)
GVW - 5000 = I assume gross weight
HP - 129 = I assume rated HP
RPM - 4000 = I assume max RPM
DSO - 74 = ????

Thanks in advance. Looking forward to chatting with everyone.

It seems awkward, but whenever you "insert a picture" to one of these threads, the forum is looking for the picture somewhere on the web (which is always available) rather than from somewhere on your hard drive (which isn't always available).

Go to Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket and sign up for a free account. Then create an album for your truck. Upload any pics you want to post on FTE to that album. Have this album open on your computer when you want to post pics on FTE.

While you're making a post on FTE, select the pic you want to post from your Photobucket album. When the large version of the pic is open, right mouse click on it and select "View Image Info". The image info will be highlighted and will look something like this:
http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/l...ghtsafter1.jpg

Copy that highlighted info (right click / copy).

When you have the spot in your post where you want the pic to be placed, select the "Insert Image" icon at the top of the post (looks like a mountain) and paste (right click / paste) the image info you copied in the highlighted box (just shows "http://" when it opens).

Your pic will be placed in the post.

Hope that helps.

Here's a tutorial Bob put together: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/67...-pictures.html
