The year of the vehicle would help a lot

WB 131 - 131 inch Wheelbase
color T - Beige, different name depending on year
style F110 - F100 4WD / 5,600 lbs. GVWR
body E 82 - Red interior, I don't have all the codes so I can't say if it's custom cab or not and what pattern it is.
Trans A - Ford Type 3.03 3 Speed Manual all Syncromesh Transmission
Axle 08 - FORD 9" Rear Axle / 3.50-1 / non Limited Slip / 3300 lb. Rear Axle Capacity
05600 - Max Vehicle Weight Restrictions 5600 Lbs.
175 HP - CERTIFIED NET HORSEPOWER
4000 RPM -
DSO 747342 - DSO 74, where the original sale order was placed: SEATTLE, WA; SERVICING WA, OR, PARTS OF ID & MT

The last four digits are a special order code, the truck was ordered and not bought "off the lot"

I'm sure someone else will pop in and fix the little things I couldn't tell you.

Uh...after you've decoded 100's of these plates....

The OP's user name includes 66F100, but this info is posted in the wrong forum because the OP is confused on what year the truck is.

131" wheelbase: 1967/72 F100/350 only / If this truck was a 1966 F100 Styleside, it would have a 129" wheelbase.

175 net HP is a 360 2V. With a 131" wheelbase: 1968/72 / 1965/67 352: 172 net HP.

You cannot assume that T is beige, or that E is a red interior, because Ford changed the codes more often than women change their minds!

Depending on the year/vehicle, T could be Candy Apple Red or Tahoe Turquoise or Sahara Beige, or...

E (1965/72) could be red, it could be dark red or burgundy. It could be vinyl/woven plastic (1965/66) or (1967/72) all vinyl, or vinyl and cloth. It all depends on the specific year.

82 is the body code...but not for any F Series truck, it was used for 1969/74 Econoline Club Wagons. What Econoline came with a 360 engine? None.

The body code should be 81.

The AXLE code of 08 decodes to one thing one year, something different another year.

131" wheelbase, F110 MODEL code w/a GVWR of 5600 lbs (1972 is 5200 lbs.), 08 AXLE code, 360 engine: This could be a: 1968, 1969, 1970 or 1971 F100 4WD.

These reasons and more are why you need the parts catalog to decode all this jazz. Guessing, assuming (and copying info I've posted for 1964/66's) doesn't cut it.

ya ya Bill, if this was a slick then all the info I posted woulda been correct, correct?

So the color code were wrong and axle, but everything else looks to be good! and I even stated that I knew those weren't complete answers, Good to have ya back!

BTW: hopefully gettin a new job this upcoming week, and more than likely with y first paycheck I'll get the books, reason I haven't yet is because I currently don't even make enough to pay for all of my gas just getting to school.


And I also copied 61-63s... lol
