I can't recommend enough that you go to Motorhaven and get this book:

http://www.motorhaven.com/customer/p...cat=125&page=1

In its 71-72 incarnation it has answered virtually every question I had about trim levels, factory options and VIN decoding. Thanks for offering it, Ken!

The factory manual on CD-ROM doesn't hurt to have, either.

F10YCC18845

F10- Half ton
Y- 360 cid
C- Oakville, Ont assembly
C18xxx- Sept 67 scheduled build date


M- Wimbledon white
7- Harbor blue

B- 3 spd o/d trans
08- 3.50:1 axle ratio

21- Atlanta sales district

I'm curious about that tag. Does it have rippled edges and is it stapled on the firewall above the master cyl? This is called a body buck tag and the 67's had them attached to the same spot. I've found on most 67s I've looked at that after about April of 67, they stopped putting them there. These tags seem to be rarely found on the trucks between then and 72. A good place to look for info on those tags is 67Fordtruck.com. Thom's got some good stuff there. Anybody else know more about these tags?

You may have to email Thom from his site as I'm not sure he has figured out all the codes on these tags.
