My vin decode search brought up this:

thank you folks. anything else a person could get off the door plate that would matter?

 

Color combo, axle ratio, and trim code!

 

Is that a crew by chance as they were built in Ontario?

 

VIN series code of F26 does not decode to 'pickup' until 1973. In fact, no series code of any year F100/350 decodes to pickup until 1973.

VIN series code could apply to any of the following thru 1972: Cab & Chassis, Flareside/Styleside pickups, with factory installed Flat & Stake Beds and as Open Drive-Away Chassis & Cowl and Cowl & Windshield.

1969 F100/750 serial number range: D82,001 - G30,000 (see parts catalog pic).

1966/69 Warranty Plate: 1st line: Warranty Number // 2nd line: W.B. / COLOR / MODEL / BODY / TRANS / AXLE // 3rd line: MAX G.V.W. LBS. / CERT. NET H.P. / RPM / DSO

It's not unusual to find 1968 and later non Crew Cabs that were ordered from, for examples, Atlanta & Pittsburgh to be assembled in Canada.

AFAIK, all 1965/79 Crew Cabs were assembled at the Oakville Ontario Canada Truck Assembly Plant. Today the Edge and its 'rebadged' Lincoln brother are assembled there.

 

alright thanks bill. so the vin dosent tell me alot then. is the anyway to find out if the truck is orginal with out finding the frame vin?

 

Compare the VIN (Warranty Number) stamped on the Warranty Plate to the VIN on the title/registration to see if they match.

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.

If the VIN's match, post all the codes stamped on the Warranty Plate.

 

ok as always thank you sir for your help.

 

if you get a lmc truck catalog it will help you decode your truck, you can also look at it on there website lmctruck.com

 

NumberDummy please help! I am in the middle of a power brake conversion on my 1979 F100, manual brake, manual transmission, no cruise. Having a hard time locating the pedal that is needed. Can you help in any way? Have one lead but it might be a dead end. Any help is much appreciated.

 

The brake pedal has to match the booster. What is the booster from?

 

LMC's VIN's decoders aren't worth TWO CENTS, have a gazillion errors and omissions.

 

Bought it online A1 Cardone brake booster with master Cylinder from OREILLY's Auto Parts. Bought bracket on ebay. Everything fits great. Needs the right pedal now. Just can't locate one. Is modifing the one I got or the booster an option?
