VIN PLATE DECODE? 1965 F250 CAMPER SPECIAL
Howdy all, Newbie here.
The plate on my door panel has the following info, can anyone help me decode it?
(see photo)
Also, its missing left drivers door window, any tips as to where to get a replacement from?
This truck has been under a tree in a forest in Oregon for about 10 years, has had the dash removed (will need replacing, all wiring under dash will need to be rewired), and will be in need of a lot of TLC to get it rolling... and I'm no mechanic.
Expect a ton of questions about it, or please help and point me to some good threads about it.
Thanks.

The VIN indicates it is a '66 model;
F25 = 2 WD F250
Y = 352 V8 (In '65 it was a D)
K = Kansas City assembly plant
804943 is the consecutive unit number.
129 is the wheel base (long bed)
FM is two tone Light Blue and Wimbledon White
B81 = Custom Cab Medium Blue Crush vinyl and Cody weave pattern bench seat
G = MX Cruise-O-Matic
7500 = GVWR
172 certified HP @ 4000 RPM
Edit: I'm pretty new at deciphering, so if I got something wrong, I'm sure someone will jump in to correct it.

The door glass is flat, so any autoglass shop can cut a new glass from glass stock
