Dechipering V.I.N.
Hi all....was using the resources on the site to try and find out a bit more about my truck as I go forward, things like the original paint and interior...some made sense, some not so much.
Perhaps someone with a bit more history and knowledge on these guys can make more sense of it....I would really appreciate it.
Thanks

Attaching a pic of the VIN plate in my garage.
Thanks to all that can shed some light on this.

Thanks Bill...the one that was getting me was the paint code...I gues my confusion with the note that said Platinum was not actually Platinum but another blue. When I removed the trim, on the lower part of the body it is blue, but on the upper side, especially behind the F250 emblem/reflector on the front of the hood, is is a very striking white, which really stood out to me, and which I want to have when I have it repainted.
Alas, the FE is no longer a part of this truck, PO put in a 302, but I will be looking to remedy that when I find a decent 360/390 that I can renew and refresh with some new guts.
Hoping to get this old beast back to as stock as possible...like so many others, it just brings back the memories of being in and around one as a kid on the farm.
