VIN Plate question

I've been lurking here for a few weeks now. Most of my questions have been answered by searching. Lot of information, very useful site. The web makes it a lot easier to keep these old trucks on the road. I've owned my 69 F-250 Camperspecial for almost 25 years. Close to 300000 miles on the engine, she is getting tired. I was thinking of buying a new truck, found this site and decided I might just put the down payment into the old truck instead. Now for a few questions. How many different model F-250's were there in 1969? Mine is a Model 254. What type axle is a 35? The rest of the VIN plate I could figure out through past posts. Thanks for all the help!

VIN Plate question

Hi! You are now officially welcomed to Thanks for your compliments on the site!

Here's what the service manual says:

F250 - 7,500 lb.
F252 - 7,500 lb.
F253 - 6,100 lb.
F254 - 6,900 lb.
F255 - 6,100 lb.
F256 - 6,900 lb.

I don't see a axle 35, it goes from 34 to 36, 37. Maybe I missed it, will check again tonight. Anybody else know?

Have fun fixing up your truck and enjoy the site!

Barry
