775230 is 1966

From 732,001 through 914,000 was reserved for 1966 models. It is an early model, probably August 1965 (for 1966 model year).

Built in Kansas assembly plant (K) with a 240 1V (A) I-6 engine.

Originally Rangoon Red (J) color.

581 indicates Standard Cab with Red Crush Vinyl and Red Bar Pattern Vinyl.

Bought off the lot in New Orleans (64 district code)

I'll let others fill in the gaps.

According to your VIN it is a 66 and 775230 was built November 1965.
It has a 240 cid 6 and was built in Kansas City.
Looks like it is Rangoon Red!
It has a 3 speed Ford trans.
3.70:1 Ford rear.
You have a conventional cab.
It has 129 HP @ 4000 RPM
64= was ordered from New Orleans
My data is muddled about the interior trim?

If the vin is correct it is a 66.
Check you vin on the frame vin.

Cheers
