VIN Decode, Please
Hre is the VIN on my Slick. If anyone could decode it, I'd be appreciative.
Dan
F10JK699826
It's a 1965 F100 6cyl 3spd.
I think the paint color is called Tropical Turquoise or maybe it's Carribean Turquoise, I'm not sure. My 4 year old calls it the "Geen Tuck".
I will try and upload photos tonight. I took pics but they uploaded to word and our gallery doesn't support doc files.
Thanks in Advance,
Dan

First of all, welcome to FTE!!!
The VIN decodes as follows:
F= conventional cab truck
10= F100 series(1/2 ton)
J= 240 1bbl 6 cylinder engine, 150 hp@ 4000 RPM
K= Kansas City assy.
699826= June 1965 build date...I had a KC built truck...699100 that is a Ranger...
If you wanna post the rest of your door tag, we can decode that as well.
Again, welcome to FTE !!

Man! That was fast! Thanks very much!
How many trim levels were there in 1965? I know there is Custom Cab but is there anything otehr than CC and Ranger?
Thanks in Advance,
Dan

as far as trim levels there was 2...base model and Custom Cab....the Ranger pkg was an option you could get ONLY if you had the CC package already...if you look in my gallery, I have the exact explanation of the 3 main packages...Custom Cab, Ranger and Camper Special.

heres the skinny on the rest of the door tag...
115= wheelbase in inches(you have a shortbed)
B= color= turquoise
F100= model of truck, 1/2 ton
3 = Medium green crush vinyl & medium green wicker pattern vinyl
81= conventional cab truck
A = transmission = 3 spd manual LD trans.
09 = rear axle ratio = 3:70
5000 = max GVW in lbs.
129 = certified net hp.
4000 is the RPM the cert. net HP figure is based upon.
64 = DSO(District Sales Office) where the truck was originally ordered through..64 = New Orleans
Hope this helps...and yes, your truck is a base model originally

Cool. I knew the truck came from Mississippi originally. A friend bought it from his childhood friend's dad. He put 77000 miles on it and sold it to James in 1988. James had it and thought his wife would drive it and she didn't. He had it painted, new tires and new seat cover put on and sold it to me for 2600. I think I stole this old truck. The bed of the truck looks like it did the day it rolled off the assembly line.
Thanks again for the help.

I took pictures with my digital camera and the software to open them up was on my old computer so I had to save them as a Word Document. The gallery on FTE doesn't support Word Docs so I have to find another way.
I have class tonight so I don't know if I can get them up tonight but I'm positive I can get some up by the weekend.
She's a beauty, though. I love her already.
