Rating plate info needed

My grandpa has a truck I'm trying to get ahold of. IT's a 68' F-250 Ranger XLT.

I'm trying to find out the engine trans etc.

The vin is as follows: F25YRD15759

The rest of the tag is: 131 F250 J 81 G 38

I know the first two just want to know the rest.


Thanks,
Eric

it's the XLT Ranger Package, first year of disk brakes If I remember correctly.

Do you know which auto???? Was it a C4, C6, FMX.

Also So this truck used to be red??? I'll have to get you some pictures of it, cuz it's a light green/white. My grandpa would've been thrilled to know that truck used to be red, he was always a sucker for a nice red vehicle especally a classic, he passed away that's why I'm trying to get the truck it's got a personal value to me.

Sorry for the personal stuff, its one of those days.

No problem. Can't help on the tranny, my book just said auto. If it has disk brakes, that's a plus. I didn't know they had them in 68. Good luck with it.
