Where is the best place to find parts interchangeability? You have landed in the mother church for Ford truck knowledge, everything you ever needed to know about a Ford truck can be found here.
Chassis parts from 65 to 79 can swap, sheet metal parts 67-72 F100/250 & 4 wheel 350s. This will get you started till the big brain gets here.

The portion of the VIN you posted, could apply to any 1966/76 F250.
F25 = F250 2WD
Y = 1966/67 352 2V // 1968/76 360 2V
C = Oakville, Ontario Canada Assembly Plant.
As John pointed out, all 1967/72 F100/350's front sheetmetal is basically the same.
1967's use unique to this year only: doors, dash, firewall, and other cab related parts, the only available V8 is the 352.
The 1967/72 Styleside beds are essentially the same, excepting mouldings, marker lights, nameplates.
If the inner fender aprons are silver (but not painted this color), this truck is prolly a 1973/76, as Ford galvanized the inner fender aprons beginning in 1973.
1967/72's are called "Bumpsides" as they have a raised scallop line midway along the sides of the truck.
1973/79's are called "Dentsides" as they have an indented scallop line along the sides of the truck.
The 1964/72 Ford Truck Parts Catalog is available on a CD from hipoparts.com for $22.00.

The inners will fit you will need to get the brackets that bolt to the cab because Ford made the rib narrower on the 73-79 inners. Its a pretty noticable differents when you see them the 67-72 are like 4-4 1/2 inches wide to the 73-79 like 2 1/2-3 inches wide.Core support will fit also but you would have to drill new holes for the hood latch.
