VIN # deciphered
Hey all, can someone assist me in decoding my firewall VIN?
The characters stamped into the firewall are:
MKC14G14C
I'm guessing that the KC represents Kansas City and the 14G would be July 14th for the build date?
The actual VIN is 98RY426897
Truck is a 1950 F-3
Thanks in advance...

The firewall stamping isn't a vin, just a build code.
You have most of it figured out. 14C on the end is undecipherable, unique to each plant and nobody knows what it meant.
M is color code for Meadow Green in 1950

Yep...my bad, I knew it was the build code...should have edited that. So is it a weird twist of fate that both Mater and I were born in July and just 4 days apart? Interesting...

Just found this stamped on the driver side near the hood hinge PANR20 E63. Any idea what that is?

Are you sure that is what is stamped there? And in that order?
P= color -prime
A= color - black ... does not make sense that they would stamp 2 paint codes
NR= Norfolk assembly plant...this makes sense as that is where the norfolk stamps are located.
20E = April 20
63 internal plant code.

OK, the P does not look like it is part of the stamping. BTW please don't use sand paper or a grinding wheel to find stampings. A course Scotchbrite pad with water is best.
