,it has a 292 V8 ,small back window in pretty good condition ,I just can`t wait till it`s mine

I am not a hundred percent sure, but I think they only made the uni until '63. I am positive that the last year they made the 292 is '64. Someone can decode that vin and tell you for sure what year. Either way The unibody's kick a**. I have a 64 regular body and I wish I would have found a unibody to restore instead just because they are unique.

F10 = Truck
0 = mistake - should be just F10
C = 292 V8 2bbl carb 135HP@3800rpm
R = Built in San Jose
221265 = production number
Since you say it's a Unibody -I'm going to guess that it's a '61.
Look at this picture - noting the difference in grills. Which is yours most like?

Also, check out the tag in the door jamb...there you'll find more information on body, color, bed style, etc.

Oct 1961 according to the vin.html page.
Oct 1961 220000-229999
Makes it a 1962 truck though....built in 61, sold in 62
(not trying to argue....sorry - been looking for vin stuff all day....in fact, there are two things on my door tag that are not on that website....
)
Are there any other good decoders online?

I agree with you Slick - the ol' brain kicked into neutral for a minute there - Oct production would be '61 for the 1962 model. Thanks for keeping me honest!
I don't know of any online decoders. I use the Cars and Parts Magazine: Ford Truck ID Numbers 1946-72 It has a few glitches, but seems to be fairly accurate for most applications.

Dan, here's what I make of it.
F100
240 six cylinder
Dallas TX plant
built March 66
115 wheel base
color A = Raven Black
GVW 5000
581 is combo for: 5 = interior trim code (red vinyl) 81 = conventional cab
3 spd LD Ford tranny
9" rear end, 3.70:1 ratio
Max GVW lbs code = 5000
net HP at rpm = 129 @ 4000
62 = DSO (direct special order) district code is for Houston, TX
Looks like a fun truck - I'd say your wife knows great vehicles.
I have a 62 unibody - so far it just sits waiting patiently while I drive my 48 F1 for everyday stuff.

Thanks for the info.
