I couldn't get to it to look it over, but I called the number on the nursery's sign, (they were closed) and the guy said "the fella wants $1500 for it." It appears to be a 68-70 and it has a "Sport Custom" badge on the rear of the bedsides. I'd like to be armed with a VIN Decoder when I go to look at it rather than have to look it up when I get home. Besides that, I haven't yet found one online that will decode VIN's from older vehicles.
Thanks,
Norton
We can decode your VIN right here on FTE.
Note: When decoding VIN's (I've decoded 100's here on FTE), Ford Parts Catalogs are more reliable than anything from lmc who is
NOT an FTE sponsor!
FTE sponsors pay for this very forum y'all are using. lmc doesn't pay a penny, why should they when y'all promote the heck out of them.
1968/69 Ford trucks have an anodized aluminum grille if it's a Custom Cab, a painted steel grille if it's a Regular Cab. 1970/72 grilles are plastic.
btw: The 302 engine code
G is for ALL 1969/72's (302's in F100's only till 1973), not just 70-72.
NOTE: The Standard Catalog of Ford Light Duty Trucks ~ krause.com ISBN: 0-87349-411-3, will decode VINS and has a wealth of other info including accessories, engine choices, production figures, etc.
