Welcome to FTE

F10 = F100 2WD

Y = 360 2V

R = San Jose Assembly Plant

790398 = 1966

129" Wheel Base

No Color Code Listed on Plate

F100 2WD / 5000 lbs. GVWR

E = Red Crush Vinyl / Red Cody Pattern Woven Plastic

81 = 81B Custom Cab

G = MX Cruise-O-Matic

08 = Ford 9 Inch WDM-B / 3.50-1 / non Limited Slip / 3,300 lbs. Rear Axle Capacity

5,000 lbs. GVWR

0625 = Domestic Special Order Invoice Number.

Your truck was special ordered by the original purchaser. Whoever that was, had the truck painted a color other than stock (Coca Cola Red?). This is the reason there is no color code listed.

Due to server problems, I wasn't able to access FTE till now.

Additional Information: Shop manual = faxonautolit.com / 1964/72 Ford Truck Parts Catalog on CD = hipoparts.com / Historical: Standard Catalog of Light Duty Ford Trucks; krause.com ~ ISBN: 0-87349-411-3

Thanks at all !!! Great help for me to identify my new car and learn more about it.

First i will take a lot of pictures, then i want to start with the technicals like changing the brakes in front from drums to discs. Changing all fluids, the shock absorbers and all the rubbers from the suspension.
I think it will take a whole winter to make him driveable for our german streets.

To be continued...

Carsten
