what year is it?
I have this old Ford flat bed and it has a newer motor in it I think the truck is a 65 but I am not sure the vin says f25yra9996 and the tag on the body by the door says wheel base 131, color g, model f-250, body m81,trans a, axle25,dso 743376, cert net hp172@4000 rpm. the engine is not original it came out of a 91ford and is a 300 six. when I got it it had no tranny but a brand new clutch all it needed was a pilot bearing and a newer radiator, one not filled with jb weld. I will send a picture as soon as I figure out how from my cell phone.

I think you're one digit short on the consecutive unit number, should be A plus 5 digits....
If Consecutive Unit number begins with A99,xxx, it will be a 1967 Model, produced in March of 1967
BUT, with the A on the front, and a 131" WB, it sounds like it's going to be a Bumpside ('67-'72), not a Slick ('61-'66)
A pic of truck and Warranty plate would be helpful
A 1966 Looks like this
....and a 1967 looks like this
