Help decoding VIN Please

Well it looks like I found the 1987 F-250 I am looking for, Got to fly to Colorado next week to pick it up.

I need a bit of help with this VIN 1FTHX26L1HKB33782. I got most of it figured out but the VIN decoder info doesn't make sense for the X26 portion and the L after X26. I think the VIN decoder I'm using is for later model Ford trucks.

Anyway could someone with good info please let me know what this VIN decodes as for a 1987 F-250?

1FTHX26L1HKB33782

Thanks

Rgds

Top of the forum here at FTE under the Articles/Specs tab.

Our very own VIN decoder. It seems to be working right for your truck. Were you using a different one?

Thanks

I was using a different one I found on-line using Google. It didn't even have the X26 in its decoding matrix. Thanks again.
