Possible new Acquisition.... Decoding help please!
Hey guys just ran across an old 4x4. Rust free and amazing barn find.... Don't have any codes but v.i.n. Yet, but I could use help decoding. This seems to be a rare truck to have cruise, a/c, etc. Any opinions much appreciated: Its a 8600# gvwr made in 12/78. Vin # x36skdh0754 Thanks

S = 400 CID gas engine
K = Built in Kanasa City
DH0754 = Made for the 1979 model year
My source for this information is the 1973-1979 Ford light truck parts catalog. I'm sure numberdummy or mikeo0o0o0 would validate this as correct & add more to this thread later.
You're welcome !

Sometimes the "X" in the VIN throws people who are used to seeing the VIN start with "F". Regular cab and Crew cab start with "F", Supercabs start with "X".

Tilt wheel operated by turn signal handle. Press it forward, if tilt: BOING!
But, do not believe the miles shown on the odometer as it reads to 99,999.9 then returns to ZERO!

Very true Bill.... However for near a $1K and if the family really bought it new I tend to believe them on the condition. It certainly looks to be in amazing original condition. Not sure on the tilt yet.....
