Found another number on the door it may be the correct VIN it is F85QU644459

Don't know if the engine codes will be the same, but I'll check my '75 shop manual when I get home this evening and let you know what I find.

The 4th digit of the VIN is the engine code. My '75 manual doesn't show a F85 series (goes from F75 straight to F88). The only R or Q engine codes listed are for a 855CID (14 liter) Cummins NTC-335 diesel. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

C95 = C950 TILT CAB

R = 534 4V

U = Louisville KY Assembly Plant

622459 = 1965
--------------------------------------------------
F85QU644459

F85 = F850

Q = 477 4V

U = Louisville KY Assembly Plant

644459 = 1965

Which of these VINS matches your registration? A C Series is a blunt nosed TILT cab, while a F850 has the standard F Series front end (looks just like a pickup).

The F85.... Number is on the door and the C95.... Number is on a warranty card in the gloove box. It is not a tilt cab. It just looks like a standard ford truck front end.

Welcome to FTE

The C Series TILT CAB warranty card somehow found its way into your F850 glove box. Prolly from some inexperienced service writer who didn't know the difference.
