Model year needs verification: this serial block was also used in
1968. Ford reused the 1976 A00001-D25000 serial block: 1967 trucks ran A00001-B82000 and 1968 trucks C00001-D82000 (Catalog of Ford Truck ID Numbers 1946-72, via fordification.com VIN67/VIN68), with the same 11-character layout and overlapping series, engine and plant letters. This VIN also fits those tables, so the model year cannot be settled from the VIN alone -- confirm it on the certification label / title. Decoded as 1976.
