There is no COLOR code...for a reason.

According to the DSO code, the truck was a special order. When vehicles are painted a non standard color like your truck, there is no COLOR code, the DSO has 6 digits.

F25YRF57633 / 131 / / F254 / M 81 / G / 38 / 06900 / 175 / 4000 / DSO: 724756.

F25 = F250 2WD

Y = 360 2V

R = San Jose Assembly Plant.

F57633 = 1969.

131" Wheelbase.

No COLOR code.

F254 = F250 2WD, 6900 lbs. GVWR

M 81: M = Charcoal Black Corinthian Vinyl & Charcoal Black Granada Pattern Vinyl / 81 = 81B Custom Cab.

G = C6 Cruise-O-Matic.

38 = Dana 60 / 3.73-1 / non Limited Slip / 5,200 lb. Rear Axle Capacity.

6,900 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.

175 net HP @ 4,000 RPM

DSO 724756:

72 = San Jose (Nor Cal) Ford District Sales Office, where the original selling dealer ordered the truck from.

4756 = Domestic Special Order number. Your truck was special ordered by the original purchaser, not "bought off the lot."
