decoding the vin on 59 f350
I have a '59 F350 that i bought a couple of years ago at a farm auction. I know yall wont have much info on the napco power pac setup under it, but was wondering if i could get the vin decoded. Vin
F35C9K32261
WB=30
Color=S
F350
Date=19C
Tranny=F
axle= either 07 or 03(cant read my writng)
maxgvw=09800
net hp=158@4000 rpm
DSO=5201
there is also a brass tag on the drivers door pillar that has the numbers 26890
I do know this is a rare critter. so far is the only 59 1ton i have found with the napco setup. everything works except for the dome light, and some other ext lights that have bad wireing to them. any info would be greatly appreciated
Also why does the forum tell me i cant post attachments? i was going to post a pic of the truck?

The wheelbase is prolly 130"
COLOR code S = Special, painted a non standard color.
MODEL code F350 = F350 / 9800 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.
DATE 19C = Assembled March 19th, 1959.
DSO 5201 = Domestic Special Order number 5201.
The truck was special ordered by the original purchaser, not "bought off the lot."
One reason why: The truck was painted to the purchasers specifications.
Another possible reason. The truck was sent by FoMoCo to NAPCO to be converted to 4WD.
First year for F350's with factory installed 4WD: 1979.
