vinwiz is in-correct.

The SERIES code of F25 does not decode to pickup until 1973.

1953/72: F25 decodes to F250 2WD only.

1973/79 F25 decodes to F250 2WD pickup.

1953/72 F250's were available as a Cab & Chassis, with a Platform (Flat Bed), Platform & Rack (Stake Bed), Flareside or Styleside Bed.
