1965 vin/data plate decode
I am going to be restoring my great grandpas '65 F100 Flareside Custom Cab (a stepside is a Chevrolet
), but...Some of the things I've looked up aren't matching up with what they should be and what I've been told.

Like what for instance?
It has 240 straight 6, three on the tree, 2WD
