1968 Ford F-250 Conventional cab, 4WD

1968 Ford F-250 (Conventional cab, 4WD, 3/4 ton); model year from the 1964-72 Ford Truck Master Parts Catalog (1975 Final Issue) serial block C00001-D82000 (see config/vin_patterns/fordtruck/1968.yml).
Shown as 1968 Ford F-250, not confirmed by the VIN. Back to the default reading
Model year needs verification: this serial block was also used in 1976. Ford reused this serial block for 1976 (A00001-D25000) with the same 11-character layout and overlapping series, engine and plant letters, so this VIN also fits the 1976 tables -- confirm the model year on the certification label. Decoded as 1968.
