VIN Meaning
VIN plate on driver's side door
I just bought this truck from a family friend and I want to decode the VIN but I think I'm plugging it into online decoders wrong or my phone just isn't working right. I was wondering if anyone can give me the information in the VIN and whether it's a good spec, as far as I'm aware it's a 1966 F250 Camper Special.

It's a 7,500 GVWR F250 so likely a Camper Special but no way to really tell other than fender badges. Nothing in a decode of this early year tells if it is a Camper Special.
F25 = F250-4 x 2
Y = 352 V8 2V engine
R = San Jose, CA assembly plant
792091 = December 1965 assembly month - 1966 model year
129 = wheelbase in inches
BM - B = Caribbean Turquoise - M = Wimbledon White paint
F250 = F250-4 x 2 7,500 lbs. GVWR
C81 - C = Medium green crush vinyl and medium green cody pattern woven plastic upholstery - 81 = 81B Custom Cab
A = New Process 435 4-speed transmission
24 = Dana 60 4.10 ratio non-locking rear differential
07500 = GVWR lbs.
172 = Net Horsepower @
4000 = RPM
71 = Los Angeles, CA district sales office
