The 4th digit of the VIN is the engine code. My '75 manual doesn't show a F85 series (goes from F75 straight to F88). The only R or Q engine codes listed are for a 855CID (14 liter) Cummins NTC-335 diesel. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

R = 534 4V
U = Louisville KY Assembly Plant
622459 = 1965

F85 = F850
Q = 477 4V
U = Louisville KY Assembly Plant

Which of these VINS matches your registration? A C Series is a blunt nosed TILT cab, while a F850 has the standard F Series front end (looks just like a pickup).

The C Series TILT CAB warranty card somehow found its way into your F850 glove box. Prolly from some inexperienced service writer who didn't know the difference.
