Door tag Decode and new to the forum

Hello everyone, I used to own a 66 ford as a kid and now I have purchased another one as an adult. Have already read a bunch of info here and think its great.

figured out some of the vin and door panel from reading on here but would like someone to give me there full assessment.

F10YN844004

Door Tag
WB 129
Color JM
Make F100
Body E81
Trans C
Axle 17
CSV 5000
Cert Net HP 172
RPM 4000
DS0 17

I saw someone elses door tag on here who had a 66 and his didnt seem to break down the codes by actual name where as this one does, anyone know why?

Thanks

Chip H

It's really not needed to post all that extra info. A reasonable order is all that's necessary. Ppl on here can decode these VIN's in their sleep (yawn). Thanks Chip H

Sounds like an exact twin to mine, except for the year.

Thanks for the decode.
The axle and the color scheme were the two main things I couldnt find...everything else I had kind of pieced together from reading other posts..

thanks alot.

this truck will stay mostly stock, color will be changed to the Ford Blue and white color scheme of the same year...with maybe a little pearl to brighten things up..
Got a long road of a driveable restoration on the way.

Thanks for the help and all the great information on this site

Chip

1965 F100 door panel decode

Recently joined the FTE with restoration in mind. Obtained the Ford of my dreams and need help with the complete identification from door panel.

VIN F10JK696882

Door tag is;

115J F100 581 A 09 5000 129 4000 64

I believe from scratching the truck paint was red originally only can not seem to identify the balance. I understand the VIN but the panel code escapes my ability. A web search was futile.

A Sage once stated, doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different result was insanity!

J = exterior color Rangoon Red. F100 = 5000 pound GVW rated half ton truck. 581 = red vinyl upholstery in a standard cab truck. A = 3 speed manual light duty trans. 09 = 3.70 gears in a Ford 9 inch non-limited slip axle. 5000 = Gross Vehicle Weight rating. 129 is your NET horsepower and the rpms where achieved. 64 = ordered by the New Orleans district sales office. Hope you enjoy the truck of your dreams.
