Odd title question help please
Okay guys just got the truck a few weeks ago, 99 7.3 crew cab clean title already purchased and title in my name now. When I run the Vin number through etis.ford it says a regular cab v10? Is this something I need to have looked into?

The 5th thru 7 digits of the VIN defines the series, 2WD or 4WD, Regular Cab, Super Cab, or Crew Cab. The 8th digit of the VIN is the engine code.
If the Certification Label is glued to the left door face, compare the VIN on this label to the VIN on the registration to see if they match.
People replaced damaged left doors with used doors. 99.9% of the time, they failed to order a replacement Certification Label with the original codes printed on it from FoMoCo.

See what the VIN decoder on the site here does with your truck...
VIN Decoder - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums
I would rely on the Etis more so than any vin decoder.

Here is a vin guide form Ford. You can see what each position means.

It applies to every FoMoCo vehicle (and all other auto makers as well) with a 17 digit VIN as the US Gov't standardized VIN's beginning in 1981.

I was talking about the VIN guide from Ford....not the VIN itself and what positions indicate....maybe I wasn't clear....Ford VIN guide only goes back to year 2000...

The VIN is on a plate at base of windshield, easiest to view from outside driver side.
The registration should also be a source.
It is possible a typo was made, (perhaps prior to you) which could be a PITA to get resolved, the doors being replaced is also "suspicious" if not a simple typo.
