Need a VIN Decoder

What can I find out from this VIN# F10DK713296?

Thank you,
Shane

F10 = F100 2-wheel drive
D = 352 FE V8
K = Kansas City build
713296 = Unit manufactur number

Without a handy decoder, I'm going on a limb to say a 1966 truck. One of the gang with the decoder will help out too though.

Mike, it's got to be a very late 65, maybe as late as early August because FWIW:
F Series Ford Production Runs by year of manufacture
62 opened with 205001 Aug of 61 & closed with 325000 Aug of 62
63 opened with 325001 Aug of 62 & closed with 445000 Aug of 63
64 opened with 445001 Aug of 63 & closed with 580000 Aug of 64
65 opened with 580001 Aug of 64 & closed with 732000 Aug of 65
66 opened with 732001 Aug of 65 & closed with 913999 Aug of 66

For build month by S/N the decoder or S/N Tables are req'd, or the build date off the data plate, broadcast sheet or vehicle CO are needed.

That's why I put a disclaimer in for my guesstimate (I had no reference materials in front of me)...
