Your truck is a dentside (73-79), not a bumpside (67-72)

1973 (S25531), F250 RWD (F25), 390 cid, 8-cyl engine (H), assembled in Louisville, KY (U)

thank you! I just couldn’t figure out what the (s25531) was for the most it gave me was 73-75 but glad to know the specific year! I appreciate it. Just bought the truck from my brother and he couldn’t remeber everything about it other than it’s all original and he’s the second owner so I’ll be the third

So can I. On the last 6 digits of the serial number designates the year. Q00,001 through S60,000 are a 1973.
