Post it all, one of us will decode it all.
I can also decode all the info for your 1967 Fairlane Ranchero (the best looking one, IMO).

7 = 1967
K = Kansas City Assembly Plant
47 = Ranchero Body Style
1 = ? No such thing, the VIN is only composed of 11 characters till 1980.
C = 289 2V
158263 = Numerical Sequence of Assembly
66A = Ranchero (not a 500, nor a 500XL, not a GT)
8 = Springtime Yellow
2U = Pastel Parchment Crinkle Vinyl & Light Parchment Cane Pattern Vinyl
28L = Assembled on November 28th, 1966
71 = SoCal District Sales Zone Office (located at that time in Pico Rivera), where the original selling dealer ordered the vehicle from.
1 = Ford 8" / 3.00-1 / non Limited Slip **
W = C4 Cruise-O-Matic
----------------------
** An 8" rear axle is the little brother to the 9" rear axle. Both look identical.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
btw: The 5th digit of your 1966 F100's VIN was missing as cs65 pointed out.
That will be the letter for whatever the assembly plant was, that your truck was built at.
It may be an R = San Jose.
