[updated:LAST EDITED ON 03-Sep-02 AT 07:31 PM (EST)]F25= F 250
J = 6 cyl 223 1V
R = San Jose Plant
100103 = October, 1960 NOTE: The FIRST 61/66 F series was 100,001!! Talk about a LOW number!! You have one of the first trucks ever made of the 61 - 66 body style!! WOW!!
It means you have a 61, of course, not a 62.
wb 122 = Wheel base 122"
Model = F250 (obvious)
Trans = F = Synchronized 4 speed, either T-98 or T-18
Axle = 26 = Spicer 60, 4.56 ratio, 5000lb cap "Regular, Used on J Model"(whatever that means.)
maxgvw = 07400 = 7400 lbs
Cert=114 rpm=3600 = 114 hp certified at 3600 rpm

DSO 68 = ??
DSO 82 = ?? (double check the numbers?)
