F28 = 1972 F250 4X4

Y = 360 2V (from '68 on) (A '66 would be a 352, unsure what code but Y was a 352 in '67)

E = Mahwah assembly plant

N60884 = 1972 series number (732,000 to 914,000 for '66)

131 = 131 inch wheelbase

G = Chrome Yellow If 6 = Bright Medium Blue. (Repainted?)

F282 = 1972 F250 Chassis & Cab 4x4 except state of PA 7,700lbs GVWR

4 8 = Custom Cab without back of cab equipment

A = New Process model 435 four speed transmission

24 = Dana model 60, 4.10 ratio, 5,250lbs capacity

No front axle code

07700 = 7,700lbs GVWR

156 4000 = 156 certified net HP @ 4000 RPM

17 = Washington District Code

Does this match up with the truck?

Could this have been a door or body swap?

Why does he think it's a '66 when the title and warranty plate say '72?

Does it have 5 lug wheel or 6 or 8 lug?

The tag you found will mismatch the VIN as it's a factory build tag if I have understood previous comments about these tags correctly. But I'm not sure on how much of a mismatch. This would be F100 vs F250.

Is yours a pickup or something else behind the cab?

Especially after 1967 the state of Pennsylvania often had their own "Model Codes" so in the Ford documentation you will see some that are "except state of Pa." and others that are "state of Pa."
