Well, this is what I come up with....color is kight blue, body 281 breaks down as follows...2= light blue vinyl interior, 81 is conventional cab, 2 axle,gas powered.
trans is 3 spd light duty, axle is 3.70 as mentioned above,
dso is as follows...65= Oklahoma City, 5794 is the dealer order sequence as I recall...from what I have heard, its essentially a customer oreded rig most likely...If Im wrong guys, please correct me

Essentially it sounds like a F100 rig, light duty....6 cyl I would guess( VIN denoted this)


Hope this helps, camperspecial65
