Y = 360

LMC's VIN decoder isn't worth two cents, has a gazillion errors and omissions.
F11 = F100 4x4
Y = 360 2V
R = Built in San Jose CA
M40188 = 1972, assembled August 1971.

Welcome to THE Forum, Steve. Be sure to read the stickie notes "Read this First" at the top of the forum page. It has a boat load of info, that some of the members have spent a considerable amount of time compiling for all of us. After 5 posts you should be able to post pictures of your truck. What are your plans for your truck? Restore, off road, race set-up?

The truck is all original except for the wheels, I believe it's what some call a hi-boy. The body is well preserved considering it's age, had a camper on it most of it's life and the bed and tailgate are in excellent shape. Dash pad is severely sun rotted seat springs are poor interior looks it's age. Runs very well, again considering it's age. I plan to preserve the body of the truck in it's current state / patina. get the interior back to as new condition, get it mechanically better than new while preserving +90% of it as built . I don't want it to turn heads for anyone other than those who can appreceiate it for what it is, like the member of this forum.
