Help with VIN Plate

I have a 1965 F100 4x4 that I am refurbishing.

I have decoded everything on the VIN except for the GTYPP under Max GVW. Can anyone help me with what this means?

Never seen anything like this stamped on the Warranty Plate. 1965 F100 4WD should have 05600 or 5600 stamped below MAX G.V.W. LBS.

What is the DSO code?

G = Chrome Yellow.

F110 = F100 4WD, 5,600 lbs. GVWR

N = New Process 435 4 Speed Manual Transmission.

09 = Ford 9" Rear Axle / 3.70-1 / No Limited Slip / 3,300 lbs. Rear Axle Capacity.

GTYPP? Should be stamped 05600 = 5,600 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.

129 net HP @ 4,000 RPM

DSO: Picture too blurry to make out what the two number are.

These two numbers (see parts catalog pic: DISTRICT CODES) decode to the specific Ford District Sales Office, where the original selling dealer ordered the truck from.

VIN

Thanks Number Dummy! I did not think there was a DSO code on it. I will look more carefully. Were these codes etched on instead of stamped?

The DSO code is there, it's stamped to the left of where it belongs.

The 1st number (to my 68 year old eyes ) appears to be a 5, but I cannot make out the 2nd number, as pic is too blurry.

This is why I posted the parts catalog page, so you could pick out the correct 2 numbers.

By the way, the DSO looks to be a 55 if I am looking at it right.
