DOOR PLATE...missing some codes

Hey everyone, I purchased a 1968 F-100 Custom Cab not long ago and decided tonight to decode the Door Plate. It seems that the code for paint, rear axel and interior are non-existant. Everything else seems good. Can anyone help me out? Why would there be no codes? Maybe "Number Dummy" can help me out here. Oh, by the way I figured out my reverse lights. Now I just need to find out how to hook up my neutral/park switch issue (3 speed converted to auto).
Thanks again....oh and P.S. I am thinking of selling my newer car for another truck...maybe an earlier one. Just love this old truck!

Door plate pic in my gallery. Here: https://www.ford-trucks.com/user_gal...185797&width=2

Hope that works Number Dummy...thanks again

The Body Code (interior) and the Axle Code are there, Ford didn't always stamp the codes in the correct place.

BODY CODE: C81: C = Medium Beige Crush Vinyl & Medium Beige Leeds Pattern Woven Plastic / 81 = 81B Custom Cab

AXLE CODE: 17 = Ford 9 " / 3.25-1 / non Limited Slip / 3300 lb. Rear Axle Capacity.

There is no Paint Code and the truck was a special order.

DSO CODE: 211440: 21 = Atlanta District Sales Zone Office / 1440 = Special Order Number.

What was special ordered?

The paint in a non stock color, why there's no paint code on the Warranty Plate.

What color is it?

Is it Coca-Cola Red by any chance? Atlanta is the HQ for Coca-Cola.

Old Ford Blue: The link to the Warranty Plate wasn't there when I typed my first post, it was added after the fact.

Thanks Number Dummy. Sorry I haven't had a chance to get back to the post. I am currently waiting on my build sheet from Ford to come in the mail. I'd like to find out as much info on the truck as I can. Thanks again...much appreciated.
