H = 390 2V
R = San Jose CA Assembly Plant
C92,001 = 1968.
------------------
ColodadoFordBoys: No F150's till 1975.
If the truck was assembled in Canada, a C would take the place of the R.

My Bad I'm new at the 67-72 game I always had 73-79's! So please forgive me still learning! My Chilton manual which I refered to for this info said "R" was a canada code but like I stated earlier that was for a later model truck so I guess that is incorrect?

Richmond was built in Model T days, was too small to assemble all the newer cars/trucks, so a new assembly plant opened in San Jose CA in 1956.
R then refered to this plant till it closed several years ago.
C is the Ontario Canada Assembly Plant that opened over 60 years ago and is still in operation today.

Still available from Ford / MSRP: $76.40 / FTEpqrtsguy.com price: $41.26.
Fits: 1968/69 F100/750 and 1970 F100/750 before serial # G90,001.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE:
This switch may not match the switch your truck has now because it was a Ford campaign replacement.
The original switch used on these trucks was defective, shorted out and caught FIRE!
In 1970, Ford replaced the original switch with the one above.
However, there were NO mandatory recalls back then. Ford send out "campaign" letters to all the dealers notifying them of the problem.
It was then up to the dealer to notify the customers: Mailers were sent out, but some customers never received them.
This new switch comes with a pigtailed wire plug. The plug was installed on the switch, the pigtailed wires were spliced into the wire harness.
If there is no evidence of this, the switch is the ORIGINAL.

Welcome to FTE
F10 = F100 2WD Pickup
Y = 360 2V
C = Ontario Canada Assembly Plant
D15982 = 1968
Just because the truck was assembled in Canada, does not mean it was sold new there.
Last week I decoded another VIN, and all the codes from the Warranty Plate.
The truck was assembled in Canada, but was ordered from the Atlanta GA Ford District Sales Office.
I posted this bit of info because I thought you'd like to know, seeing how you live in GA.
Look on your truck's Warranty Plate = third line for the DSO code. If it's 21, your truck was ordered from Atlanta.
The Warranty Plate is located on the left door face below the latch.
