HOW DO I VERIFY THE YEAR OF A TRUCK BASED ON VIN?
#16
Joe, I think you mean it is a '49? The only inconsistency I see is that the current seller is saying it's a '48; everything else (incl. VIN) says '49. If a third party is involved (i.e., consignment sale, or one of those jerks who sells things for you on eBay) he may have confused the year. No question it appears to be a clean truck.
As to your other comment, I have been unable to find any ad for this truck, so it seems that we have no idea where she saw this.
About 2 years ago there was a guy in Alabama that was using a picture of JimBollman's 1950 F1 in his ads. Also about 3 years ago I had a guy selling a Harley on the Knoxville Craigslist at a great price. sent me all kinds of pictures including the vin#. It turned out to be a scam and he was just using pictures and info from an old eBay ad. These things tend to always make me suspicious.

That is why I told IslandGirl to ask him for a video that has the truck and todays (that days) newspaper in the same video with the truck... a couple things this does... One is confirm that he has possition of the truck. Second allows you to see the condition of the truck today. Third is to have one of our members in the area take a look at it in person before you make a deal...

Got the email with pictures and story from "IslandGirl". Truck was recently listed and sold from an eBay auction. With some assistance from the FTE CFU (crime fighters unit), the location of where the truck's pictures were taken for the eBay ad was revealed. A quick Google search for the name matched with a business of the same name in the same city from where the seller on eBay is located. The name of the seller also matched to the owner of the business and the person dealing with IslandGirl.
I will be stopping by this place shortly to play dumb and see if I can spot the truck in question.
Stay tuned to this exciting episode of FTE: CFU.
