74 = Seattle WA Ford District Sales Office, where the original selling dealer ordered the truck from.
Your truck was originally a long way from "Back home again in In-diana." For many years, one of the Kruse brothers would sing this song before their classic car auctions began. The guy couldn't sing worth a damn.
New to FTE, need help decoding my Vin. It is a Canadian made f-250 1964. Have a hunch this truck does not have the original box as I see bright blue paint on the bed floor. Anything helps! thanks
Welcome to the group, if Numbers doesn't reply to your post he probably missed it. If so start a new thread asking for a decode. Looks like a nice truck from your avatar.
Thanks Chad! That clears up a lot, looks like the truck is mostly original besides the box. Could it be possible that paint code is wrong? I own a 64 M-100 and this 64 F-250 both have "CC" as paint code and both are green?
Off of that engine code is it a 2V or 4V engine?
Thanks
LL should be Holly Green (a single L in U.S. is Holly Green), so I can't tell you why yours have the CC, but it does and it indicates Pure White. Someone might have made a mistake on those tags. We've seen errors before.
Here's the info showing C as Pure White (U.S. and Canada) and the L showing as Dark Green (U.S. and Canada)
Might be sort of small to read real well, but you can hopefully see that C is Pure White and L is Dark Green. Canada did have some variations from U.S. like Rangoon Red is R (RR) instead of J. Canadian trucks also called out a two digit code for exterior paint. If the two letters are the same (CC) then it was a single tone paint job on the outside. If the letters were different than each other (i.e. UH) then it is a tu-tone paint job.
That's quite the list of paint codes! I guess they ran out of white paint haha :P I really appreciate the help. Glad I signed up for this forum!
Cheers
I found it a long way from Indiana, in Montana. Sister and BIL just towed it here last week for me.
Any possibility of adding a photo of the steering column and steering wheel? curious to see if they are black or red . Black columns and steering wheels are common color for '61--'63 pickups , not common '64--'66 pickups.

I had no idea, I have pulled it out of the truck, it looks like original paint. Here's a photo.
Thanks for posting photos. '64's were the first year for color coded interiors, meaning they could be built with a wide variety of different interior colors, prior to '64, interiors colors were limited. IMO, black color codes are quite rare for '64. It appears the standard dash panel has been swapped out for a Custom Cab panel and 3 on tree linkage converted to floor.
