I do not have the original rims they were replaced with some white spoke wheels.
Need to get new tires. Last set were Uniroyal Laredo 9.5R16.5 LT M+S Load D.
If possible would like to get back to Original.

mikeryan, the VIN decodes easily enough... but the rest of the info doesnt fully make sense given the way the codes are stamped and labeled on the warranty plates.
The VIN is as follows:
F61= F600 series(theres 6 different models in 1966) F610-F615
C= 330 2bbl carb, gas engine
R= San Jose, Ca assy.
844827= April 1966 assy date(april run was 844,000 to 857,999)
The other info you posted I can make sense of is color...M= Wimboldon white exterior paint
481= 4: Medium beige crush vinyl and medium beige wicker pattern vinyl.
81=81A= a standard model truck
the rest is where it gets confusing...first off...one medium and heavy trucks there is 2 axle codes...one for the front and one for the rear axle...
On the warranty plate below the warranty number..aka VIN is the 2nd line of codes...from left to right:
W.B.
Color
Model
Body
Trans
Axle
The next and bottom line has codes for the following from left to right:
Max GVW Lbs
Cert Net H.P.
RPM
DSO
Fill in the blanks so it can be completely decoded.

Bill, I found the front axle codes...BUT I only found the O or 0 being for 1964 model trucks...p.78, Gen. Info. section
I did forget the M/D on the engine...LOL..and the 71 for LA DSO...That scenario hadnt crossed my mind...I was going L to R on the tag in my mind as the codes were posted compared to how warranty plates are laid out.
- I did find the G3 though a cpl min. ago...btw..is the O a letter or the number zero ???

If G3O is the correct AXLE code (it's not G30), what else could the O refer to?
Parts catalogs are not infallible.
The OP said his truck has a 2 speed rear axle, what G3 decodes to.
We'll just have to wait and see what transpires.
I wish ppl would list the info in the correct sequence as found on the Warranty Plate (as you pointed out).
When the codes are topsy-turvy, catty wampus and some are omitted (as in post #4), it's a royal PITA to decode.

GVW 24,000, 164 HP@3,800 RPM, DSO 71
MF 615 81 A G30 is the last line across the bottom.
I thank you both very much for the information.
Check out the latest Super Duty videos on the Ford site. We recently shot "Fuel ", "Torque", "Trailer Sway" and "Off Road" with Mike Rowe.
Best, MikeRyan77
