Ford F-700 Vin decoder

I inherited this F700 from my grandfather and am wanting to restore it and put it in service in my business. I need the Vin decoded to know where to start. If any one could do it I would be very grateful. VIN# F70DUB42915

F70 = F700

D = 330 2V HD FT gas V8

U = Louisville Assembly Plant

B42915 = 1967 numerical series

174 = 174 inch wheelbase

7 = Dark Blue

F703 = F700, 24,000 lbs GVWR

B81 = Possibly Custom Cab. I don't have complete decode info for upholstery, seat type, etc.

A = New Process model 435 four speed transmission

G2D
G2 = Eaton model 16802 Two Speed Rear Axle / 5.57/7.75 / 17,500 lbs. Rear Axle Capacity.
D = Ford-Rockwell (Timken) front axle, 7,000 lbs capacity

2 4000 = 24,000 lbs GVWR. A good example of a typo on the warranty plate.

164 3800 = 164 certified net HP @ 3800 RPM

63 = Memphis District Code

You have the Dayton style wheel, which will be of great value if you decide to go tubeless. Or you can stick with tube type and the lock rings.

Let me know if this lines up with what you find in the truck.
