Short answer - Yes.
Long answer - You meed to confirm that the Warranty Plate number matches the VIN stamped on the frame.
You will find it on the passenger side rail, ahead of the of the cross member, but behind the core support, about where the alternator sits on a V-8.
The stampings are light, so you'll need to be careful when uncovering it. Don't use a grinder, but use a wire brush.

The VIN is located on the Warranty Plate...which is riveted onto the face of the left door below the latch.
Compare the VIN on the Warranty Plate with the VIN on your trucks registration to see if they match.
People replaced damaged left doors with used doors. 99% of the time, they did not install the original Warranty Plate on the replaced door.
While this is not common, it is not un-common either. F500: The VIN begins with F50.

If the VIN on the Warranty Plate (located on the left door face) does not match the VIN on the registration, or on the frame...the door has been changed.
1961/66: Any door from any F100 thru F1100 will bolt on.

Most registry cops I know are too lazy to look so it's generally not an issue.

It wasn't used for titling purposes because it is too easily changed. You can remove and replace those little "rivets" that hold the Warranty Plate on with a fingernail.
And, most states nowadays DO look at VINs - check out CNN about the VW bus bound for Europe after being stolen 35 years ago. E-bay was the biggest motivation for states to tighten up their shot group on this.
States that I know that check stamped VINs are WA, MD, VA, AZ and PA for sure.
