66' f100 Shotbox stepside

New to Ford trucks just bought a 66'f100. Don't even know which motor or tranny(6cyl three in tree). Door post codes
F10BK816843
f100 81 c c2
Stock original paint truck almost no rust from a ranch in Montana.
Are the the right #'s for decoding ?
I am a newly converted chevy guy and am not familiar. Looks like a great site i will continue to read on
Thanks for any help

I'm not sure what your second group of #s means but the first group indicates the following:

F10=F100
B=6 cylinder 300 cu. in. 150 h.p.
K=assembled at the Kansas City Plant
816843 is the assembly line run # for the month of Feb. 1966

6T6Shorty, Welcome to FTE The nations truck stop.

Don't worry too much about the serial number, ya gots what ya gots. Sounds like you have a nice pickup to start with though.

Thumbs up

6T6,
F-100 means 1/2 ton rated

81 refers to the Cab, 81A = Standard cab, an 81B= Custom Cab,

C= 3 spd Light Duty Column Shift Manual transmission

C2 = 3.73 Rear axle ratio

+ As our Fearless Moderator has already said to you above;
Welcome Aboard here in 61-66 F Series Ford Truck Forum. A great knowledge base for these great Slicks (trucks)
