THIS IS A GOOD ONE!!!

hi all,

I thought I just bought a 1987 F350 with a regular cab and a 5 speed manual transmission. Come to find out the vin that is on the title and the vin plate on top of the dash comes back to a 1987 f250 supercab with a 6.9 liter diesel. The motor that is in the truck is a 7.3 international, or I believe it is. The vin plate looks like it has been changed. is there a vin plate anywhere else on the truck? all the wiring is hacked up and the high beams don't work, an old truck I figured the it would be on the floor to change from high to low but I can not find it anywhere. any help would be appreciated to figure out what truck I actually have...

The VIN "should" be stamped on the top of the passenger side frame rail..

It sounds like Johnny Cash may have had a hand in this one.... "One Piece at a Time"

There WAS a partial vin on top of the passenger frame rail. Somewhere between the rear cab mount and the front shock mount.

Not like it will do you can good though

What about the sticker on the driver side door jamb? Is it still there?

If they went thru the effort to remove the dash or windshield to drill out rivets, I HIGHLY doubt the sticker is still in the door jam
