WB-115 - SWB obviously
Color-M - Wimbledon White in 65/66 only (61-64 used corinthian)
Model-F100 - 2wd 5000 G.V.W.
Body-E81 - Specific to seats and trim level, probably cc (Possibly Red crush vinyl and red check strip woven plastic but that's for a 64 and might've changed)
Trans-C - for 66 was 3 spd Manual Light Duty
Axle-17 - 3:25 ratio
GVW-5000 - typical f100
HP-172 @ 4000 - most likely whp, 208 at crank

That about what you hoped for??

The guy I got it from pulled a 3 speed o/d out and put in a regular 3 speed. Is there a different code for a 3 speed o/d tranny on the data plate?

E81: E = Red Crush Vinyl & Red Cody Pattern Woven Plastic // 81 = 81B Custom Cab.

C = Ford Type 3.03 3 Speed Manual all Syncromesh Transmission.

17 = Ford 9" Rear Axle / 3.25-1 / non Limited Slip / 3,300 lb Rear Axle Capacity.

5,000 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.

172 net HP @ 4,000 RPM.

63 = Memphis TN Ford District Sales Zone Office, where the original selling dealer ordered the truck from.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If the truck had originally come with the Borg Warner T-85 3 Speed Overdrive, the TRANS code would have been B

1963 was the last year for Corinthian White. 1964 was the first year for Wimbledon White.

The Ford Type 3.03 3 Speed Manual was introduced in 1963, used thru 1986.

208 is the Gross HP. The air cleaner had a decal with this HP figure.
