Help, Number Dummy -- Need Decode

The State just sent the title to this truck. On the title in the Model section it is described as "F35 COF" and that wasn't anywhere on the old title. It doesn't seem to appear on the door plate either. Hope you can see the plate all right. It has some rust and some overspray of white paint. I haven't messed with it because I didn't want to make it worse. Appreciate your info.........Thanks in Advance!!!

F35 = F350

H = 390 2V

C = Ontario Canada Assembly Plant

E53193 = 1969

M (? kinda hard to read) = Wimbledon White

F350 = F350 / 8,000 lbs. GVWR

381: 3 = Pastel Parchment Corinthian Vinyl & Pastel Parchment Woven Thong Repeat Vinyl // 81 = 81A Standard Cab

G = C6 Cruise-O-Matic

36 = Dana 70 / 3.73-1 / non Limited Slip / 7400 lbs. Rear Axle Capacity

8,000 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating

185 Net HP @ 4,000 RPM

730025:

73 = Seattle WA Ford District Sales Zone Ofiice, where the original selling dealer ordered the truck from.

0025 = Domestic Special Order Number. The truck was special ordered by the original purchaser, not "bought off the lot."

One reason for a special order is...if the purchaser wanted a special body installed by Ford.

Decode............

Thank you for the info! The reason for the special order was this is my '69 Crew Cab Contractor Special with the Onan. The designation by the state on the title as a model "F35 COF" still throws me. I know there is a meaning to the "COF" but I don't know what it is. Anyway, not a real big deal anyway. This truck has a 165 inch wheelbase with an 8 ft. Long Styleside Bed. It is as long an outfit as anybody would want to have to bend around any city corners............. Thanks again, for the info, Bill. I appreciate you taking the time! Have a Great Week!
