NOTE 1:
The consecutive numbers for trucks were
assigned just like Ford cars in the period, IE each assembly plant
started with the same sequential number. Thus, the first truck in
Kansas City production in 1967 would be assigned A00,000, as the first
truck assigned to San Jose would also be A00,000. The unique serial
number identifier would be the plant code.
NOTE
2:
While researching these VIN pages, there have been many conflicting
sets of numbers discovered. The numbers listed above are those listed
in the 'Catalog of Ford Truck ID Numbers 1946-1972'. However, the
Oct. 1972
issue of Ford's technical bulletin 'Shop Tips' lists the consecutive
numbers for 1967 as A00,000 thru B49,999. The 1975 Ford Master Parts
Catalog shows A00,001 thru B82,000 (starting one unit earlier and
ending one unit later). In
addition, reportedly the figures in the shop manuals are off some
because they were printed at the beginning of the production year run
and therefore cannot reflect actual production schedules. I've also
heard from several truck owners who report higher unit numbers than
listed here...so the research will continue. |
