Here's what i can decode;
F25 = F250 2wd
C= 292 4v 153hp 3800rpm
R= San Jose assembly plant
wb128 = lwb
Color b = Turquoise
Body C81= need additional letter to determine Standard or customcab.
Trans G= 3spd Cruisomatic
Axle B4= 4:56 ratio
Hope this helps.

It was a Custom Cab Any idea on exact year? It has to be 64 or so I think. The scuff plates are those from a 64 This truck had a Dash pad on it and the Custom Cab plate under dash Bezel.

Thanks Customcab

According to the site VIN Decoder it's a 63. I'll check the manual and see what it says.

I'd say it is, you could get in touch with Ford, I got most of my vehicle info from them in addition to the great information NumberDummy was able to give me here. Incidently has anyone seen hom lately?

F25CR482257

482257 = 1964

1964 Serial Number Range: 445,001 thru 580,000

When the first digit of the body code is a letter, it's a Custom Cab

C = Medium Green Crush Vinyl & Medium Green Check Pattern Woven Plastic.

81 = 81B Custom Cab

When the first digit of the AXLE code is a letter, it's a Limited Slip rear axle.

B4: Spicer-Dana 60 / 4.56-1 / Limited Slip / 5200 lbs. Rear Axle Capacity.
