Good afternoon Ford Enthusiasts,
I recently acquired my grandpa's 1965 Ford F100 that he bought new. I learned to drive in it and I would like to get it fixed up so that I can teach my son to drive in it. I have a few years, he's only 4.
I need some help decoding the VIN Number and data plate information. Or at least can someone point me in the right direction so I can figure it out myself. I believe I know what most of it means, but since I have nothing to go off of, I'm going to assume that I know nothing. Which is probably closer to the truth. Thanks in advance. Lance
