If it is a 1965, the first number in front of the F, will be a 5. Also, on the top of the driver side frame, adjacent to the alternator, will be a 12 digit number, which is the last 12 characters of your VIN. If this string of characters begins with a 5, it is a 1965.

I hope this helps! John Last edited by Hot Rod John; 07/12/2011 1:27 PM. In the Stovebolt Gallery ~~ "The Orange Crate" 1965 C10 SWB Step Side Build Thread Inspired to be different.
