VIN number?

[blockson98]

I was just w wondering if anyone could help me decifer this Vin number:
1FTHX2618EKA74966
The truck is a 1984 F250, but the strange thing is it is a 4x4 ext-cab dually diesel. I did not think they made such a combination in that year.
Thanks for any input.

Funny you mention it has dual rear wheels, because this is not the first time I've heard of this on a F-250. I also seen one with my own eyes. The owner said it came like that from the factory and they were rare. This was also a 1984 and supercab. However none of my books show this configuration. Perhaps Bill the "numberdummy" could help more?

Thanks for the input. The dually part all looks factory to me, but i also didn't think it was offered like that either! Maybe it's extra rare!

I've heard of dealer conversion 250 duallies before. Someone wants the lower plate fee for a 3/4 ton truck, but wants the payload capacity of a dually. toss a dually axle and a set of flares on, and there you have it.
