Hi Everyone,

I would like to know more about my warranty plate information. My Vin# is F10JD301346. Here is the rest of my plate:
WB - 114
Color - T
Model - F10J
Trans - A
Axle - 11
Max. G.V.W. lbs - 05000
Cert - 114
H.P. R.P.M. - 3600
D.S.0. - 61
Thank you in advanced for any of your help on deciphering this information.

Could have been sold as a Cab & Chassis, Open Drive-Away Chassis & Cowl or Cowl & Windshield. Bolh: No bed, no cab, just a dashboard, floor pan, bare frame rails behind it, fuel tank located on left frame rail.
Model code F10J is correct for 1957/62's, refers to F100 2WD, 5,000 lbs. GVWR

114" Wheelbase and that's it. You cannot say short bed because there's no way to know if these trucks came with any bed originally or not. VIN Series code (1st 3 digits) doesn't decode to pickup until 1973.

So, I thought the OP had a 1966, no Uni's after 1963. 66 in this context refers to Uni body style.
