Help decode a VIN
Thinking about buying a 79 Ford dump truck, trying to figure out what engine it has in it. Present owner has VIN but the door tag is missing. VIN is F82BVDC5899 . Any info appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Also see your post in the "If you need any info" thread for GVWR info.

Pic: If the Warranty Plate was present, the TYPE/GVW aka MODEL code and its corresponding GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) would be one of the following:
F820 - F821 - F822 - F823 - F824 - F825 - F826 - F827

VIN doesn't tell you much...
F70 = F700 (gas).
E = 361 2V or 4V FT engine.
V = Kentucky Truck Assembly Plant.
C41462 = 1976.
Warranty Plate riveted to the left door face below the latch, post a pic of it or type all the codes from it.
