Interesting VIN
If original, and I think it is, this is an interesting combination, and a good donor for a '65/'66. Might be rather rare in this combination, and appears to be properly badged as a Ranger.
Can someone decode the entire thing?
F15JNY40754 -
GVW 6050 - a lot for a 150?
WB 133 - nothing special there
Color X - ??? Truck looks off yellow, with the remnants of vinyl wood grain
Body - BU4 - ???
Trans 6 (C-6, in this case, I am pretty sure)
Axle 13J - ???
DSO 22, 01 and 52
Your comments? (Especially looking for Bill's!)

F15= F150 2 WD
J= 460 cu in 4bbl V8
N=Norfolk Assy. Plant
Y40754=1977 sequential serial number
GVW 6050= 6050 lbs Gross Vehicle Weight
WB 133= 133" wheelbase
Color X= Tan
Body BU4= (BU) Tan all vinyl interior trim (4) styleside bed
Trans G= automatic transmission
Axle 13J= (13) Ford 9" 2.75 non-locking 3,750 lb capacity (J) with power steering
DSO 22= Charlotte District Sales Office. Is it 01 & 52 or 0152? 22 0152 would signify a special order vehicle and not one that was ordered for dealer stock.

Thanks Mike, I had forgotten the "J" was power steering.
The DSO is 0152, I broke it up, as they are all run together on the Warranty Plate.
Do you, or does anyone find a 4bbl 460 in an F-150 from the factory a but unusual? I have never seen one setup that way before.

A 460 in an F150 is not that unusual, not as common as the other engine options but it's not something that I would consider rare.
The DSO 22 0152, this truck was special ordered by the customer. If it had been a stock order by the dealer it would have just had the DSO 22.
