2799 = Domestic Special Order number, truck special ordered by original purchaser, not "bought off the lot."

 

Thanks for the info on the truck. I do know its a medium duty 330, must have been reading the number letter. Im pretty sure it has been a grain body truck its whole life and had the bed put on in Peoria IL a long as the antique mudflaps are right. It still has ford dealership stickers on it for Heller Ford in Illinois too. Thanks again.

 

The VIN number is one of the most important number on a car and if we don't know how to decode a VIN, then it will be difficult for us to identify the other components or numbers.

Thanks
