I'm the owner of the infamous "HappyTruck", the '66 normally found parked in the Orlando International Airport employee lot replete in 7 very good shades of rustoleum....

Now settle down! It looks better than it did and actually the truck gets more attention [and acclaim] than my other car, a 1985 Porsche. It starts better too!

Anyway, it's VIN is F10AK805568, has color A, Body 581, tranny F, axle o8, and DSO is 531421. The plate says 129 hp, and I'm pretty sure it has a 4.0 liter straight 6 of some sort. What does all this mean?

Thanx!

Your A is 240 cid I6, no Ls back then, and the K is for Kansas assambly plant.
