I have a 1964 F-100 (2 wheel drive / short box) that doesn't have the original data tag, however I see Marti Auto Works reproduces them. I would like to get it as close to correct as possible, but I have some questions.


Warranty Number - F10CK480...
W.B - 114
Color - J or JM (I believe it was originally two-tone - red and white)
Model - F100 ( I saw F101 listed as well, but I've seen another 1964 2 wheel drive, short box that was F100)
Body - I see 81B listed for 61-66 Custom Cab and 99 listed for 64-66 Styleside Bed. This pickup is both a Custom Cab and has a styleside bed. I've also seen a number of examples with a letter / number in front of the 81 (E81, F81, 581, 281, ect.). How do I determine what would be correct? Is there a listing of the different interior codes?
Trans - F
Axle - I need to check the gear ratio.
Max G.V.W. - 5000
Net H.P. - 135
RPM - 3800
DSO - 51 (There's an emblem on the back from a dealer in Canon City, CO)


I got most of my information from here:


Didgey Specs 61-66


Thank you
Tim

Thanks for the response and information.


I don't know if it's original, but the seat in my pickup appears to be just red vinyl.





What would the correct body code be for that?


It is a 9" rear end with 3.89 gears. So, the axle code should be 12. Does the tag on the rear end give any more information?





Thanks again
Tim
