I'm looking for tips and ideas on how to locate my Grandfathers 1972 F250 4x4 Highboy & I do have the VIN #. He bought the truck new in 1972 and had it until the 90's. No one thought I would find the VIN but I did... Going through some old papers this past week I found the VIN number written down. I was thrilled to see the VIN. F26YHM8xxxx (I also have the old lic plate info).

He sold it in the 90's and I want to track it down and buy it. I know he sold it to a person who lived in the same general area in Southern Illinois. The guy lived on a farm/worked on a farm.

I would appreciate any help on how I might locate his truck. He wanted me to have it in the 90's but I lived AZ at that time and it was not possible.

Hunting, fishing, and camping... Lots of great memories and way to many to list here.

Any / Tips / Thoughts / Ideas at all are very appreciated.

Thank you -Shawn

Have you tried throwing the number out there on google? Sometimes you can get lucky and the truck will be sitting on a dealer lot. Alot of time the VIN will be on the webpages so google will pluck it out. Not much chance of this working, but hey if you get lucky the first time
