The 1957/63 Ford Truck Parts Catalog breaks down the serial numbers to the month the vehicle was assembled.

The serial number is the last 6 digits of the VIN.

July 1963: From 430,000 thru 439,999.

Your 1963 F100: 432,755

EZ to do with a parts manual?

That month breakdown only applies to 1961/63. After 1963, ALL the parts catalogs don't break the serial number down to months, just to the year.

ND: The books I have show the month breakdowns for all years. Perhaps my books are different? They are the original ones from Ford.

In yours: General Information Section / Page 37.

In mine: General Information Section / Page 37 = Numerical Sequence of Assembly. The serial number broken down by years only.

The 1964/72 Ford Truck Parts Catalog I'm using, is the last printing: January 1975.

Ford dropped that month info because it really isn't necessary.

From the looks of things, your book is one of the earlier ones that has info from 1961 thru 1969.

Ford later put two books together: 1957/63 / 1964/72.

btw: Now if someone's into Astrology and they want to know their truck's sign...

I could see them wanting that info!
