Just think how you would feel if you had spent 4 hours with a hot girl friend.

Bet you would have a wider smile on your face.

workin on it, can do all the engines, body codes, most colors, maybe 1/2 the trannies, and who knows to what percentage I know the rear axle codes, way too many.

need to work on DSO and assembly plant.


(BTW: If I really want to, I can memorize in a heartbeat! Freshman year of Highschool I memorized an entire 30 line sonnet from Romeo and Juliet in about 10 minutes (And not one of the famous ones!))

dont try memorizing all the DSO codes...some came and went over time...not necessarily in the 61-6 run...but later...definately ...The common ones out here you should be able to remember though...72, San Jose, 74 Seattle, 73 SLC, 71 LA...

BTW...theres 42 DSO codes...

Mebbe you should, considering...

Who's the fool?
It seems you left something out of this post, kiddo...where you found the VIN and Warranty Plate codes...to decode.

I received a Visitors Message from an FTE member with all the info pertaining to a 1966 F250 2WD.

You somehow saw it first, decoded it...and then bragged: "ND...I beat you to it!"

What you didn't mention in this post is...that I had to correct your mistakes.

You gave the wrong info for the engine code, saying: Y = 352 4V.

You said the 129" wheelbase decodes to an 8' Styleside bed. It does not.

You also said the 7500 GVW decodes to the weight of the passenger and cargo. This was not only confusing, but wrong.

So...if at first you don't succeed...try...try again!

I did not say it was a styleside bed! all I said was it was a long bed! the 4v was a typo I knew it was a 2v, and had I looked it over once more as I went to do just to double check and I did catch it, but you had seen it first.

ya, I don't have a rebuttal for the GVWR, that's kinda what I thought it was... haha


but hey, that was also my first one, and I was workin mosty off the top of my head from stuff I had only just learned! Give me another and I'll get it right, if I have all of that info, I man I might be missing a few colors, and I definitely don't have all the rear axle codes.

Where did i get all the info? I only copied down what you and Camperspecial65 jotted down.
