We have what is believed to be a 1985 F600 Ford Dump Truck. It is not in bad shape at all. No one at the plant has any idea of where it came from and there certainly is no paper work to go with it. Here is the VIN: 1FDNF60HXFVA68911. The VIN does not show up on any search sights. How can I track the history of this truck? Thanks for any help on this. It is really a mystery to everyone here.

 

Double check the 7th VIN number. Could it be a "C"?
I don't see a "F60" listed here http://www.fleet.ford.com/resources/...uide_Final.pdf
There is a "F6C".
To find the owner/history, I think you will need to go the DVM website and do a title search by VIN. Or local police can run the VIN for you.

 

1FD = FoMoCo USA - Ford Truck - Incomplete Vehicle.

N = Class 6 - Hydraulic Brakes - 19,501-26,000 lbs. GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating).

F60 = F600 2WD (gas).

H = 370 2V or 4V (6.1L).

X = Check digit, FoMoCo use only.

F = 1985.

V = Kentucky Truck Assembly Plant.

A68911 = 1985 Numerical Sequence of Assembly, the trucks specific serial number.

VIN decode source: 1980/89 Ford Heavy Truck Parts Catalog.

 

great people make this forum what it is - thanks ND

 

Thanks all for your reply. And a great thanks to NumberDummy. Now I just need to figure out how to track the movement of this vehicle from the factory to the plant. I'll do as CountryBumkin suggested and call the local police department.

 

Hello ND ... When I input the VIN into the decoder website, it comes up as not found. How did you get this information? Is there any certain way the VIN number has to be entered? I entered it as a one liner. thx ...
