66 Ranchero Decode

Hi Everyone

I am a new user to this site. I just stumbled across it this week and looks like a great place for Ford info.

I just bought a 1966 Ranchero thats been in storge for last 22 years. I tried using the vin decoder on the site, but it didn't work. The VIN is
6K29C260883, and the Door tag is 66B M 45 27F 22 1 6. Any help with this is appreciated.

Welcome to FTE

6 = 1966.

K = Kansas City MO Assembly Plant.

29 = Ranchero Custom, Body Style 66B.

C = 289 2V

260883 = Numerical Sequence of Assembly.

66B = Ranchero Custom.

M = Wimbledon White.

45 = Red Crinkle all Vinyl.

27F = Assembled June 27, 1966.

22 = Charlotte NC Ford District Sales Office, where the original selling dealer ordered the Ranchero from.

1 = Ford 8" Rear Axle / 3.00-1 / non Limited Slip.

6 = C4 Cruise-O-Matic.

btw: This is the 1961/66 F100 & larger F Series Trucks forum.

There is a separate forum for Ranchero's (which includes 1961/67 Econolines).
