Your truck is a Merc.

Your truck was probally produced in 64 as a 65 Production ran august thru august for model year.

If anyone has a vin decoder for Merc trucks please post it.

The picture is hard to see, but here is what I gather from it:

4991028L-214966A

4 is model, 8cyl
991 would be body type, Chassis and cab
0 is series, this is a M100
28 is wheel base, here it is 128 inches
L is for left hand drive (R for right hand)

214966 - series number
A is Gross vehicle weight code

This is all I have, if somebody knows more, they can add it.
