Help me decode my mexican truck vin

VIN: AC1JWU55111-JIA


Type:
F100

Motor:
C


Trans:
4

AXEL:
D

Brakes:

Can someone give me a breakdown of what all this stuff means? I pumped the vin into the decoder here on FTE, but I'm not sure what to make of the results.

Thanks for any help.

FTE VIN decoder cannot decode a Mexican VIN, and neither can I or any other FTE member...unless they have the apropos Mexican Ford Truck Parts Catalog.

Ditto codes stamped on the Mexican trucks Warranty or Rating Plate.

Thru 1980, US truck (Bronco/Econoline) VIN is 11 digits (as is 1966/80 Canadian VIN), 1976 example: F10GRA123456 / F10 = F100 2WD pickup / G = 302 / R = San Jose CA Assembly Plant / A123456 = 1976.

1976 US/Canadian Warranty Plate codes arranged thus: W.B. (actual wheelbase in inches) / COLOR / MODEL / BODY / TRANS / AXLE / GVW / YEAR (actual year listed) / DSO

Since 11/04/2006, I've decoded ove 800 VIN's and 100's of Warranty/Rating Plates for FTE members, but cannot help you. Sorry.

Ocastari, it might be possible to have a Ford dealer local to you decode the VIN. If you could get a copy of the codes and post them, it might help someone else in the future.

Good luck!

Here's a mexican (and Australian) Ford VIN decoder. I couldn't get it to work (my Spanish sucks) but maybe someone else can.
