Question Need HELP with decoding a VIN.

Been told to ask someone who is named Number Dummy for help. I have seen CONFLICTING info online. Ranging from "Never Built" to "1961" to "19??"(yes that DID show up).

Numberdummy rarely checks in these days, having found other pursuits.

You have a Canadian truck. You will need to find a Master parts catalog that includes Ford of Canada models.

This is a sample of the '57-'63 catalog. I think the tag you picture is a '50s format, if not a Canada only format. I can't read the tags to the right.

It does tell you F500 and gives you the axle ratio, but beyond that and anything else you already figured out, no help from me.

So here is the sample:

Where I found that:

This is the outfit for the above:

Another outfit:
1965-72 Ford Car Master Parts Catalog Download

There are others around who may have better take on your tags. Can you take a couple more pictures, closer in with all the fields clear? Include all those tags for best results.

Good luck.
