Yes, I did. I did not end up buying the 1970 due to the availability of parts.

 

Can someone decode my vin please? it is : U911VU52928 Thank you!!!

 

Hi Bill,

I'm looking for a tail gate reflector to a 2002 Lincoln Blackwood, passenger side.

Part # is 2C6Z-13A565-AA (or AB) but I'm not sure which is left or right. I need the passenger side.

I know the part is obsoleted. I'm trying to find dusty old stock somewhere.

Thanks for being here for us!

 

I just bought a 1978 F600 Custom Cab dump truck with power steering and chrome grille. I'm interested in finding information from the data tag:

F61DCT27331
WB: 134
Color: T
Type: F611
Body: B8
Trans: 8
Axle: F31
Max GVW: 20200
D.S.O.: 11

Also, any idea where I can get the factory red vinyl & vinyl-weave bench seat material?

Thanks!

 

Hello everyone, I have been a member since 2009 but have not been active. I was just given a truck(dump) but need help in deciphering the VIN... Hope you can help. Here is it: N70EVU11473

Thanks and as soon as I get her home I will upload some pics... she has been in "barn storage".

 

Serial No.: F60V6U64124
Color: S
Rear axle: 6.8
Production code: 14J741005P
GVW: 17000
D.S.O: 740001

Any information regarding the above is appreciated.

I don't have a parts catalog after 2001, so I don't know which is the right (passenger) side. Usually the right side (AA) is listed first, but...

No FoMoCo dealer or obsolete parts vendor has either side.

 

U91 = LT900 diesel.

1 = Cummins NH230 855 cid 6 cylinder diesel.

V = Kentucky Truck Assembly Plant.

U52928 = This is either a 1974 or 1975.

 

Thanks for the info Numberdummy, the truck is titled and was sold to me as a 1975 model. I used it for a few years, and sadly parked about 2-3 years ago. I have plans to revive it and put it back into service. It is a dump truck and is a BEAST!!!! I love and can't wait to get back on it. Thanks again for the info.

 

Other info on vin tag is:
W.B. 204
Color: BS
Type/G.V.W.: U914
Body: AE8
Trans.: J
Axle: D8P
Max G.V.W. LBS: 44800
DSO: 250623

WOW!!!!!!!!!! You SIR are a Ford Encyclopedia!!!!! Thank you again for the information. Very interesting!!!!

 

Thanks for checking for me, Bill! Sort of what I expected, and not what I wanted to hear, but I do appreciate you looking into it all the same.

 

Something smells and it ain't hay.This VIN and Warranty Plate codes do not match a 1978 F600 Custom Cab with a red interior

The last 6 digits of the VIN (T27331) decodes to a 1974 F600 2WD / 1974 serial number range: S60,001-U80,000 / 1978 serial number range: AA5,001-CJ5,000.

1974 BODY code B8: B = Medium Blue Vinyl / 8 = Custom Cab.

There is no parts catalog reference for a 1974 F500/880 or 1978 F600/880 with the type of upholstery you have described. It's possible the seat is from a 1973/79 F100/350 Ranger.

*Compare the VIN on the Warranty Plate to the VIN on the registration/title to see if they match. Warranty Plate riveted to the left door face below the latch.

People replaced damaged left doors with used doors. 99.9% of the time, they failed to install the original Warranty Plates on the replaced doors.

 

I should have checked the registration first. It's listed as a 1974 and the vin on the tag matches the registration. Maybe the body code is E8?
