S = 400-2V Eng.
C = Ontario Truck Plant
Z12817 = Production sequence number. Indicates manufacture during July 1977.
Data Plate: 133 = Wheel Base. Long Bed.
V = Color. In this case it is Medium Sliver Metalic.
F263 = Type(F Series) and Gross Vehicle Weight. For the F250 4x4 my book only shows: F-260(6750), F-261(7500), and F-262(7700lbs).
AA4 = Interior - 1st "A" is for Custom interior Gray. 2nd "A" is for seat type - Bench. 4 = Style side pickup.
A = Transmission-New Process 435 4 speed.
24J = Axle type, rear: Dana 60 and you have power steering.
06700 = Gross vehicle weight so I would suspect you have a a Dana 44HD in the front.
1977 = My book doesn't show it but I would guess it's the year of manufacture.
57 = DSO number. This is the District Code for where the truck was sent from the factory. 57 = Houston, TX
Hope this helps.
