Ford confusion.After decoding your 1965 info, I thought I'd pass the following along, so you won't be confused.
A was used in 1965 for the type 3.03 3 speed. C was used 1966/72.
07 was used in 1965 for the 9's 3.25-1 ratio. 17 was used 1966/72.
Edit: Hmmm, I see that Squire Don (cs65) beat me to it by 8 minutes.

Thanks guys!!
Someone, at some point, had it repainted red. It must have been a pro job when it was done because the interior, jams, etc are all red now. I saw it chipping in places with some green under it so i figured the red wasnt original. Is there any more desirability on the truck for it being a Ranger Custom Cab?
Thanks!

LOL...yeah...how'd I do with the 69 ??? I couldnt find the build date info on the CD...had to break out one of the 6" thick books ...
Another question Bill, On the rear ends...or front axles, etc...when they say its a 3.3M or 3.5M rating...is that always gonna be a 3300 or 3500 # rating using those two as an example ???
On the 3 speed trans...Ive never seen it said the trans is a 3:03 All Syncro Trans...it usually just says Ford 3 speed with the Ford code similar to what I posted on the rear end with this particular decode...
Its nice getting something different to decode once in a while :-)

1968/72 F100's: There were TWO different 9" rear axles. One had a weight capacity of 3300 lbs, t'other 3600 lbs.
Even though classified as a 9 inch, the 3600 pounder has a 9 3/8" ring gear, only 5 internal parts are the same as the 3300 pounder.
Dana 44 front driving axles: There were three weight capacities offered 1959/72: 3M (3,000 lbs.), 3.3M (3,300 lbs), 3.5M (3.500 lbs).

1952 was the last year that F Series trucks had a floor mounted 3 speed shift lever, used with the H/D 3 speed manual trans only on F1/F2/F3's.
