VIN Decode needed...

camperspecial65 · #1 (**permalink**) 05-17-2008, 05:48 AM

VIN decode needed......I wanna see if its a SCS or not mainly plus whatever else it will tell...Ive tried rthe decoder but it just says its an f350 made in 64 which is wrong as i know the 61-6 trucks very well...If anyone...ND or anyone can help Id appreciate it...its an auction rig and wanna know what I can about them...may also need a door tag decode...if its a SCS which as i recall has a wb of 140"...plus the odd bed is a standout too...
Theres 2 actually...both are 73-7 vintage...no hood letters or bigger grille...one has amber t/signal lenses and other is clear...clear are earlier ones as I recall...were any 350 SCS supercabs made ??? If so what are the prod. figures approxamately...The truck with amber t/signal lenses has a small rectangular nameplate on the fenders forward of the wheel opening and a few inches below the side molding...pic in the preview catalog is terrible so no super great detail aside from it looking to be a clean bronze/white truck

The VIN that is posted is F35JKV49319... 1 is an early(clear lenses supercab and the other has later lenses regular cab, both are 2wd and yes I know I only posted 1 VIN...knuckleheads didnt post both VINS...

Let me know guys ..

You can't get options from a VIN. All it tells you is the model, engine, assembly plant, and its own numbers.

There are no Supercab SCS. The amber lenses were only on '77 trucks. 73-76 had clear lenses. Oftentimes, it's been swapped in for whatever reason.

F35JKV49319 is a '75 F350 2wd with a 460 built at the KC plant.

No sense in giving them free publicity :-)

Try and use others.

While all 1977 F100/350's have amber parklight lenses, they were first offered midyear 1976.

wow...I didnt know they changed colors mid year...must have been some kinda directive from NHTSA or such for an odd mid year swap like that...small potatos vs like a brake type change for example...

Thanks for the help guys...cs65

Inused that very decoder...thats the one that told me it was a 64 350 and so on...lol...
I found the door tag decoder...now to get the door tag info...can only preview the day before auction...I thought these 2 were being run through today...its next Sunday...ughh..my bad...but I will be using the decoder though...what kind of things would be extra bonuses on these trucks...i.e. rare/oddball options or option packages...any particular things to flat out avoid...like a certain rear end/trans combo for example or ???

From what Ive heard and experienced before as I had a 76 3/4 ton Supercab...these are pretty stout trucks all the way through with the exception of SC cab corners/rear sides and bed wheel arches...is there anything else ???

Thanks to one and all :-)
