FTE's new decoder claims that my 1965 F250 came from factory with a 4 - 292cid, 153 HP, 3800 RPM engine. Could this be correct ? Vin # is F25DR602191. My truck has a 352 in it.
R Assembeled in San Jose
602191 Build run 600,000 through 611,999 October of 1964
Serial number blocks start for the 65 model year in august of 64 with 580,000

Appears someone needs to go back to da proverbial HTML drawing board.....
====Typo====
D engine code: 352 2V (two barrel). No F100/350 engine offered a 4 barrel carb till 1973. 1973/76 390's came with 2 or 4 barrel carbs. 1973/79 460's all have 4 barrel carbs.
I just ran F10DE581296 through the decoder. With a build date of August 1964, it says 1964 is my model year. Then because the same engine letter was used in 1964, it says the truck came with a 292ci, (should be 352.) Seems the decoder needs tweaked to look at the unit number too and compare that to the ranges for each model year.
I just ran this # also and this ia what I got. But the truck is not 4 wheel drive.
Your VIN number: F10J0R21794
Your Model Year is: 1960.
Truck Series: F-100 4 Wheel Drive, GVW 5000 F10 = F100 2WD
Engine: 1V, 223CID, 126 Horse Power, 4000 RPM
Assembly on: Richmond
Your's vehicle unique number: 21794
Incorrect data. F10 = always translates to F100 2WD.
1959/1960: F18 is an F100 4WD.
There was no Richmond (CA) assembly plant in 1960. Deemed to small, it was replaced by the new San Jose assembly plant in 1956. The R code was carried over.
21794 is the numerical sequence of assembly for the San Jose assembly plant.

Incorrect data. The serial number says it all.
F10 = F100 2WD
D = 352 2V (D used in 1965 only for 352 engine; Y used 1966/67. 1961/64: C or D = 292 2V Last year for 292 = 1964)
E = Mahwah NJ Assembly Plant
581296 = 1965
>> 1965 serial number range: 580001 - 732000<<
