Vin Decode

Yesterday I was sitting in the engine compartment of the old beater Highboy that I drug home. I stopped working to stretch my back and for some reason started scraping grease off the frame rail. After I scraped off a little grease, to my surprise, I saw 6JK4. A little more cleaning and the vin appeared.


F26JK447798

Anyone want to break it down for me?
