The vin is F25YRE12502. I got the truck recently but all that is left is the frame, axles, driveline and bed which made it really fun to find the vin. If I can figure out what it had originally, I hope to restore it to "new" condition.

I was wrong on the plant assembly, the last 6 digits of e12502 shows it to by built in Twin Cities, MN.

Thanks for the information. It's definately a long term project, but my goal is to build it back to what it had originally. The intersting thing about it is that it has an 8ft stepside bed (had to measure it twice just to be sure). I do have other miscellaneous parts for it such as the hood, fenders (the hood and fenders were the only way that I could date the truck till now), and remains of the front end, but I will probably try to find another truck at an auto wrecker for the rest.

iaspr-
The "Y" in the vin. number is a 352 in the 1967 only!
After that, (70-72) the "Y" is a 360!
In your case the consecutive unit number/series (final 6 digits) comes back as a 1969 F250.
F25 = F250 / 2WD
Y = 360 cid
R = San Jose, California
E12502 = April 1969

Ahh, I originally thought it was a 68 or 69. I don't remember why I thought that though. San Jose must have been an assembly plant for western vehicles in general, as I also have a '73 F-250 and a '66 F-100 both built in San Jose.
