Trim code decoding

There's A 1968 highboy for sale with trim body code A481. Is this a bucket seat or bench seat?

Thanks

Posted in the 1961-1966 section but I can tell you that, yes, a 1968 A481 is Pastel parchment crinkle vinyl and pastel parchment kiwi pattern vinyl in the Bucket seats.

No worries, glad to help. If you meant to post it in this forum that's fine by me, just mentioned in case you had intended otherwise.

81 = 81B Custom Cab or Ranger.

So when referencing the A4 if there is an "(81B)" then that denotes either a Custom Cab or Ranger Package. Outside of the Build sheet or Marty report is there a way to narrow it down to a CC or Ranger?

Thanks

The BODY code decodes to the type of material and color of the seat upholstery.

Also determines if bench or bucket seats, 81...based on the type of upholstery, may decode to a Standard or Custom Cab or Ranger.

A481: A4 = Pastel Parchment Crinkle Vinyl & Pastel Parchment Kiwi Vinyl (Bucket Seats) / 81 = 81B Custom Cab or Ranger.

1967/72 F100/350 Custom Cabs and Rangers were available with bucket seats.

1965/66: Only Rangers were available with bucket seats. Ranger was a package only available with Custom Cabs.
