Welcome to FTE.

I moved you to the forum for your '66.

F10 = F100 4x2

A = 240 1V six in line gas engine

C = Ontario Truck Plant

775004 = 1966 numerical series, November 1965 production

115 = 115 inch wheelbase

M = White

F101 = F100 4x2, 4,200 lbs GVWR

281
2 = Blue Vinyl
81 = Conventional Cab.

C = Ford three speed Light Duty manual transmission. Should be the all synchro "3.03" model

09 = Ford 9 inch rear axle, 3,300 lbs capacity, 3.70 ratio

4200 = 4,200 lbs GVWR

129 4000 = 129 certified net HP @ 4,000 RPM

21 = Atlanta District Sales Office

No special order, bought from dealer inventory.

The interior is not blue but there is blue thread in the seat coverings could this be the blue? The interior is beige.

Code 4 shows beige. Is it the OEM interior?

I'm going off a '66 Ford Truck Shop manual on line.

Too bad Marti Reports cut off a '67.

F10 = F100, 4x2

A = 240 1V six cylinder gas engine

L = Michigan Truck Plant

A44039 = 1967 numerical series, November 1966 production

115 = 115 inch wheelbase

U = Medium Green

F100 = F100 4x2, except state of Pa., 5,000 lbs GVWR

381
3 = Medium Green Vinyl
81 = Conventional cab. (I have limited info on interior etc)

C = Ford three speed manual transmission (All synchro "303") (This makes no sense with a 460. 460 was AT only for this model year)

08 = Ford (9 inch) rear axle, 3,300 lbs capacity, 3.50 ratio

05000 = 5,000 lbs GVWR, which as noted above

129 4000 = 129 certified net HP @ 4,000 RPM

28 = Louisville District Sales Office

No special order.

This forum is '61 - '66 but I will leave you here unless you want to move this decode up to the '67-'72 forum. Keep in mind the '67 is an oddball year, with some interior features found only in '67. More discussion of that can be found in that forum, starting with some of it here:
