Awesome, thanks is there a website you are getting this info from?
looks like it never made it out of missouri, 100 miles from where it was ordered, 200ish from where it was built.

 

I assume you're referring to the VIN/Warranty Plate decode I did in your other thread.*

Info came from the 1964/72 Ford Truck Parts Catalog, available on a C/D from hipoparts.com
