Vin plate iding
Can you guys help me out? It is a '66 F-100 long bed. I can not make out some wording on my plate but here is my stampings......
F10YE862675
129 M F101 E81 C17
04200 172 4000 21
I've ID my vin but my book does not list a Y as a motor id for a '66. Says Y started in '67 as 352. I'm really interested in the color code, I believe it was originally White. It is Rattle Can Black right now with Blue, Red and White under that.
Thank you!

I knew it was but they refer to it as starting in '67. I only have a LMC catalog to go by. Do you know of any book I can get. I just got How to Rebuild Big Block Fords by J. Christ. Good info in it. I'm rebuilding my top end.

Bill, AKA the Big Dummy, oops uh uh I ment to say, 
The Number Dummy can decipher all the rest of the numbers for you. He may be taking a nap or cutting the grass or something. He usually isn't gone too long at a spell.
I have the same book and we regard it as the Bible around here.

**Y engine code is prolly a mistake made by the Mahwah NJ assembly plant. Your truck may be one of the last assembled, the person stamping the plates, may have glanced at 1967 engine code figures.

Thank you sir! I figured it was white. And with red interior, what a combo! It will be restored to those colors. She sure does have a long way to go.
Wonder if the Y code is a rarity? Again thank you NumberDummy!

I can gar-an-tee you there is no Y code listed for 1965-66 that pertains to F100-F350's in the engine code section in the parts book.
Until today, I've never seen a Y engine code on a 1965-66.
At one time, someone was offering decals that could be used on faded VIN plates. I saw the ad in the Galaxie Club of America magazine.

I rechecked both vin plates today and they are not decals, but raised numbers.They both clearly have a Y for the engine code. When I put them into the vin decode on this website the 66 comes back with 352, but the 65 says unknown engine.65 vin goes:
f10ylXXXXXX
wb-129
c-b
mod-f101
body-381
t-c
ax-17
gvw-4200
hp-172
rpm-4000
dso-21
f10ylXXXXXX
wb-129
c-b
mod-f101
body-381

ax-17
gvw-4200
