Can anyone help me translate my door tag? I have been trying to find out as much Info on my 65 as possible. I have placed a pic of the tag in my album.

That is a job for da banjopicker, somebody wake him up, he loves to cifer tags.

Just kidding

John

 

Sheesh.

6:30 in the morning, ON A SATURDAY no less, and I gotta go get a trailer, drive 4 hours to Garbz, pickup all his extraneous stuff to sell, and get back - and you want me to decipher the guy's door tag.

OK Bossman, you need to give me a raise, or one of these days I'm gonna quit and then you'll be sorry. How about doubling my pay for once??

Don't mind him, Prezz, he's just old and cranky.
Here you go!
F10 - Model = F100
D - Engine code = V8 2V 352
K - Assembly Plant = Kansas City
639xxx = early January '65
WB - wheelbase = 129 inches
Color - O = Light Turquoise ('65 only) By the way, that is the letter "O", not the number zero.
Model = F100
C81 - Body trim scheme and style = C is Medium green crush vinyl and medium green ladder woven plastic; 81 is a conventional cab.
N - Transmission = NP 435 4 speed with granny gear
Axle - A9 = Locking Spicer 60.2, 3.54 ratio, with a 3,300 lb weight rating.
6000 GVW Maximum vehicle weight (Don't be too tempted to overload that nice dump, it isn't designed for it.)
172 HP at 4000 RPM = 352 engine rating

Satisfied now, John? It took me 30 minutes or more to look all this up and then post it. You better be happy!

Hey, the CD made it all easy, too.

Prezz, don't mind all the fun we have with each other.

John and I (and many others here at FTE) have broken bread together, and John loves to serve dead yard bird so we are more than just a bunch of truck nuts. Jump on in, and join us, the water's fine!

 

John, Keep up U whining and we'll take your last raise back. You should be glad we even let you in the room.

thanks bro

John

That is a nice truck you have there, are you gonna use it as a dump truck?

 

Thanx for the reply's, and Banjo I don't care what the guys say about you, your a real swell feller. (Give yourself a pat on the back). I have added the info to my file. I do use the dump and I'm the envy of everyone at the dump. I always draw a crowd. The truck allready had the dump when I bought it. It also has a Flying Tigers 14th Air Force Assn. sticker in the back window and have been trying to research that against the name on the warrenty card in the manual, but no luck yet. The sticker looks like it has been there a long time and I'm not sure if they handed those out to just anyone. I really enjoy my slick and when I started looking for one I didn't expect to find one in this good of shape. My Mom and wife allway's try to get me to sell that old truck and get somthing new. I tell them they can have my old truck when they pry it out of my cold dead hands. Banjo hope you were'nt to late but thanx again.

Clint, Please don't be saying those things to John da picker, it's his head that swells, then we have to work overtime to put him back in his box.

John

 

Put him back in his box....LMAO....

 

Ok!!! LOL! I'll try not to boost his ego to much in the future.
