The warranty tag is F60DK325809

174 M F600 81A J F2
17,000 153 3600 51

The transmission is a 265V. Does that match the door tag?
Thanks
What year is this? When I took the truck in for a vin inspection there information said the last six numbers were consecutive with a 1963 year model. Makes sense but with all the 65 parts I thought the larger trucks could be built and sold a little different.
Thanks

While I Do NOT claim to be the end all authority.
The consecutive unit number/ last part of your vin falls early in 63 production...
As such, over the years, many of the parts of the truck may have been replaced with 65 parts...

For your information, check the link.

As for the trans hump
It's my understanding that the high hump cover will fit any slick cab.
Even cabs with unremovable humps, if you cut the opening in the floor just inside of the groove for sealing the hump to the floor and provide attachment points.

For what is left of this large truck is there any other 63 vs 64 vs 65 parts to look for. Parts the would be hard or un likely to be changed out? The valance (where the hood latch bolts to) is an earlier. If the axle date codes are consecutive with each other that should tell.
