VIN Decode help
New to the forum. Bought a 65 custom cab short bed the other day with the intentions on building a nice date truck for the wife and I. Anyway, the VIN is as follows:
F10DR615621
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Thanks, it has custom cab handles on the outside and a tool box in the bed pass side. Is this all non original?

Pics from the 1964/72 Ford Truck Parts Catalog ~ The door handle guards were introduced in 1963.
1964/66: Two different lengths of tool compartments were available, one for the 6 1/2' bed, one for the 8' bed.
