I show a '72 F250, with 360, assembled in San Jose, California, and was built in May of '72. Thats all I can get off the vin, but I'd be happy to decode the rest of the vin plate info if you want me to.

Nik, That's what I stated. In 72 there were 2 different colours for that code.

Didn't one of those 2 codes apply?
