For example, anything part casting, tag, or label starting with "D0" would mean 1970 or later.

The engine code is the 4th digit of the VIN / 1969 F250: A = 240 1V I-6 / B = 300 1V I-6 / H = 390 2V / Y = 360 2V
TRANS code stamped on Warranty Plate: A = New Process 435 4 speed manual / C = Ford type 3.03 3 speed manual all syncromesh / F = Borg Warner T-18 4 speed.
G = Automatic Transmission, type to be determined by engine size, because the idiots at FoMoCo used the same G code thru 1978 for all A/T's.
Warranty Plate located on left door face below the latch, but your ice cream truck may not have doors, as most were Open Drive-Away's. Warranty Plate may be located on the inside of the glovebox door.
'Course, after 44 years have passed by, who knows what engine/trans are present today?
The VIN contains 11 digits: The first 3 is the series code (Yours: F25 = F250 2WD), 4th is the engine code, 5th is the assembly plant code and the last 6 is the serial number.
The serial number, when decoded, determines the year / 1969 F100/750 & Bronco serial number range: D82,001-G30,000.
