Number Dummy, need a decoding for vin.

I looked at this truck today and made an offer on it. I thought it was a 1965. However when I went to the drivers door for the vin# appears to be a 1963. I will attach a pic on the the complete vin plate.
Thanks in advance for your help.

The serial number appears to be from a 65 and the 115" wb is 65-66. The bottom right code is the dealer district number 63 out east somewhere I think. I do not have my book in front of me sorry. I am anxious to see the paint colour "T"

Thanks guys you gave me what I needed. The 63 on the vin. plate threw me, because I was almost certain it is a 1965 but when I saw the 63 on the vin. plate I just jumped to the wrong conclusion.
