Vin F10YK747461
The F10 means you have a F100 2 wheel drive
Y is the engine code you have a 352
K is the assembly plant Kansas City Mo
747461 is the consecutive unit number, i dont know what that means
115 is the wheel base is 115 inches i think from the center of the front to the center of the rear wheel but i am not possitive.
Color code J is if it is red it is rangoon red Dupont paint code 4294
if the color is aqua it is Midnight Aqua Dupont paint code 4877

Trans code c is a # speed light duty
Thats about all i can do for ya hope it helps

Thumbs up

Yeah! Hello BSmith, I'll 2nd Tims' Howdy to the FTE group !

FWIW, The last 6 digits of your serial number make your F-100 a '66 Model.

Anything assembled/ built on 08- 01- 1965 or after, through 07- 30- 1966
[01 August, 1965 thru 30 July, 1966] is a 66 according to FoMoCo. As Mfgr of it FORD issued a Certificate of Origin or "CO" to original selling dealer.

The year it was built in is not relevant without the month also, with all of the commercial vehicles built through the mid 1960s.
