I have been researching the VIN or S/N number on my son' F100 unibody. This is what I have come up with. Everything matches, but can't figure out the DSO numbers. The info for this came off the plate attached to the inside of the glove box and it matches what is stamped on the top of the frame rail in the engine bay.

S/N F10CR12XXXX
F10 Series = F100
C Engine = 292 CID 2v (135 HP @ 3800 RPM)
R Assembly Plant = San Jose, CA
12XXXX Unit Number

Other info on the Plate
WB 122 inches
COLOR Light green, mint green
MODEL F100
Trans A (3 speed, light duty)
Axle 3.70 (3.3M)
Max GVW LBS 05000
Certified Net HP 135
RPM 3800
DSO 654 This doesn't seem to match up with anything I have found. Does anyone know what this number translates to?
 
I believe DSO stands for dealer standard order, but could be wrong. I don't think you will find anything on the truck with that number to match.

I looked at several of the VIN plates on a few of my '50-60 Ford F series trks.. They all have the DSO on the plate... the numbers change with xxxx on the 1960 F100 I think the number is relative to special order accessories/equipment, ie; radio, heater, etc. that appears on the factory manifest..
