Trying to find out about this 75 Ford 4x4 pick up. Don' have it yet. Thinking about getting it. Tried to Google the vin, but it keeps telling me it' not a valid number.

F11YNX43476
That' what is on the Virginia inspection report in the glove box

Use this site.

http://www.fordification.net/tech/vin.htm

Whatever you used in your search said your vin isn't valid because in today's systems the vin is longer. These "search engines" can't decipher older vins as they are only looking up newer vins. when looking up my truck before I bought it most sites didn't go back earlier than 80s and I think it's for that reason.

F11 - 73/76 F100 4x4
Y - 73/76 V8 360 2bbl
N - Norfolk build plant
X43476 - not sure since the site says 75 ended at X43000 (Numberdummy will be along soon to give you the info as well)

X2 on the VI# on our old trucks is 11 characters and the new vehicles is 17.

As soon as some gurus see that vi# you will get a run down of it and probably what the assembly line builder had for lunch.... if ND does it. lol

New old truck shopping. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...l#post14696861

Thru 1980, FoMoCo VIN's have 11 digits. Beginning in 1981, VIN's have 17 digits.

Usually, online VIN decoders will not decode 11 digit VIN's.

F11 = F100 4WD Pickup.

Y = 360 2V (1968/76).

N = Norfolk VA Assembly Plant.

X43476 = 1975.

ND is the fordifcation site incomplete with their serial #s listed? (I mean obviously cz I mentioned their site stops at x43000) but a few of their years jump around just wondering which years they have complete.

The parts catalog ends at X40,000 for 1975 (except Econoline), but this has to be an error, because 1976 begins with A00,001.
