VIN Number
I am new to this site and I just got a 196? Ranchero. I am trying to decipher what the VIN indicates. If anyone can help me that would be great
The other information that is on the door is Body-66B, Color-T, Trim-5D, Datecode-22C, DSO-B6, Axle-5, Trans-W
Thanks-RR

Body-66B - Ranchero. My guess is that the "B" to indicates that it is a 500 model. Standard models are probably "A" and GT models are probably "C".
Color-T - Candyapple red
Trim-5D - (?) Maybe Dk. Red Vinyl and Dk. Red Knitted Vinyl, Luxury Interior
Datecode-22C - March 22, 1968
DSO-B6 - Incorrect. Should be two numbers.
Axle-5 - 3.00:1 conventional
Trans-W - C-4
VIN 8K48F174165
1968 - Model year
Built at KC plant
F code 289 V-8 (That doesn't seem right. I believe Ford went to the 302 and dropped the 289 in MY 1968).
