Decoding a VIN

Hi! I’m new here and honestly I’m trying to be a good girlfriend and help my man figure out the year for a truck he’s wanting. I have little knowledge and have tried my best to decode it myself but I haven’t been able to figure it out completely. The VIN is F26YUW83987. If anyone could decode this and just tell me what the year is, I would appreciate it so much. I really want him to be able to get this so I’m trying out everything. (:

Welcome to FTE!

F26YUW83987

F26 = F250 4x4


Y = 360 2V FE gas V8

U = Louisville Assembly Plant

W83987 = 1975 numerical series, April 1975 production.

If the tag on the driver door is still there and has the correct VIN, that can be decoded for more info.
