Yesterday My Dad (Thundersnow70) and I headed up to an auction in the middle of nowhere south dakota with intensions to haul a 1960 Ford F-250 4x4 home that the auctioneer said was "rough". When we got there we noticed it was rougher then we thought and lowered our spending limit. The truck ended up bringing $200 more than we felt it was worth and the auction moved to the next truck. This next truck is the truck that is currently sitting in front of our house on the trailer. A 1963 Ford F-250 2wd. It has a solid 8' styleside "wrong" box that will eventually find its way onto the back of my dads 1960 Ford F-250 4x4. The Cab which will get transfered to my 63 f250 4x4 is in awesome shape. The vin for this truck is F25CE412492. Can anybody decode it? Thanks in advance for any help with decodeing. The truck also had air conditioning which we assume was an aftermarket add-on?
Here's my guess. I could be wrong on the (E) but I think I'm right.
