F10 = F100

Y = 352 V8

D = Dallas Texas Assembly Plant

832302 = 1966

List the rest of the numbers on the VIN...the color code is after the wheelbase, second line.

115 = 115" Wheel Base

8 = Springtime Yellow

F100 = F100

D = Medium Beige Crush Vinyl / Medium Beige Cody Pattern Woven Plastic

81 = 81B Custom Cab

A = 3 Speed Manual All Syncro

A9 = ?

A9 is rear axle code=shows Dana 60? That's an 8 lug wheel, doubtful on an F100.

Hi William, Yes it is A9 althoughit has a 9 in rear now and 4 spd, Could that be a mistake?. Do you think it would have came that way, sounds Doubtful to me as well.

I checked through the entire 64/72 parts book axle codes, all the rear end decodes for 1964/69 show A9 as a Dana 60 locking 3.54. Weird, as then the front wheels would be 8 lug also. Could be a mistake...but who knows after 41 years.

My book shows tranny code A as the 4 spd New Process

But it also shows A9 rear axle as 3.54 Dana 60-2

Code 09 is a Ford 9" in 3.70 ratio.........

Assembly was March of '66 in Dallas

Ooops, sorry. A code is = 1964/65 3 speed; 1964 5 Speed Fuller Direct; 1964/ NP 435; and 66/67 5 Speed Direct Dana 8052. Shoulda looked past the Fuller listing.

09 = WDM-K or WDM-U 3.70 Ford 9 inch 3300 lb axle. (A9 prolly a typo)
