VIN # decode please

After reading a fair amount of posts here, I think I can guess most of what these numbers mean, but just in case would someone please give me the run down on this?

F25DK690451

are there other numbers on these old trucks that would tell us more? Thanks.

Tom

F25 - f250 2wd,
D - depends on what year it was built, 59-60 that would be a 292 V8, 2BC carb, 61-63 V8 292 with 4BC carb, or 65-66 a V8 352 2BC carb.
K - built in Kansas City
690451 - Consecutive Unit Number or Series #

If it is newer than 66, hopefully somebody else has that infomation and can jump in here. Hope this helps.

My book says 1965 built in may 1965 352V8 F250 4x2 built in Kansas City.

The tag on the driver door (if it is the origanal door) will give more info as to transmission dso etc.
