Tinsmiths made and repaired items of tinplate. No professional tinsmith would have accepted being called a tin-tapper. Tin-tappers were roaming metal workers that repaired dented or broken metal ware and did not create such items on their own.

Change oil/filter, tune it up, rebuild carb, consider adding dual exhausts.
When you said tin tapper was from Vegas, I thought tin tapper had something to do with entertainment. Red Norvo was a tin tapper of sorts, played the xylophone.

It's a 1963 that was assembled in September 1962. I decoded your VIN/Warranty Plate codes in your other thread, said the same thing.New vehicle introduction time begins in September of the previous year, so...new vehicle production begins in August.
1963 serial number range: 325,001 - 445,000.
Notice the 2013 Escape in my sig. Purchased 10/15/2012, assembled 9/12 (September 2012).
And, btw: You posted this in the 1961/63 Uni forum. Your truck is not a Uni which has the bed welded to the cab. You have a short Styleside 1957/60 "wrong bed."

Thanks Bill, yes I posted that just prior to seeing your first answer. I wasnt sure what defined a unibed and if I had one. Let me ask you is the term "wrongbed" just a nickname? Or is my bed from another model truck?

1961/65 F100/250 4WD / 1961/66 F350 (9' Express) / 1962/63 F100/250 2WD / 1966 F250 4WD.
Called the "wrong bed" by enthusiasts, because the bed lines don't match up to the cab lines.

I'm mostly interested in the axle code "24" But I would like it decoded if you guys wouldn't mind?
I've figured that it was made in San Jose, TuTone Springtime yellow ? Wimbledon white. It's a 1966 Camper Special F250 w/ Custom Cab.

Has there been guys in the past to correct the wrong bed line match up? Can I drop the bed a bit with ease? Also I want to add that i TOTALLY FOUND A 9" CARRIER WITH A 3.25 AT THE YARD TODAY!!!! I spend abut two hours trying to get it pulled. Both brake hubs were stuck...pried those off after a longtime, then both axles were stuck...another one of prying and then finally got all the stuff off the punkin and got it out. I have never done this before and I have to say i am seriously proud at the moment. It came off alreally cool 72 ford shorty van. This thing still had the bubble windows in tack and all. heres what the tag says off the pumpkin.
wev-g / 2DC / 3.25 / 9 / 730A
Can someone decode all that? I for sure know its the 3.25 and 9 inch and i counted the spline...28! perfect.
