What does... Invalid value for 'VIN' mean??
I am trying to list my 69 Ford for sale on this site and it tells me (Invalid value for 'VIN') I took a picture of the VIN off the door and I am at a loss as to what is wrong/missing? I have searched for the location of the VIN for this truck and it lists exactly what I have.

I agree, that your VIN has enough digits. But what I meant was, a lot of online sites don't understand the "the amount of digits on the older VIN system". They are set up for the newer VIN system. I had to do a face to face and the DMV to register my 69 F250 CS, the online system wanted more digits.

If that isn't good enough for your listing, contact the site admin and point out to them that SOME Ford trucks only have 11-digit VINs, and that the site software should be able to handle that.
(I recently went through something similar with my insurance company)

I get F-250, 4WD, 360CID V-8, built in San Jose, CA, in May of 1969.

That web site is to check Vin for "recalls". I doubt that they ever did. 17 digit Vin numbers have been around since 1980. I don't think there were such things as "recalls" back in the 70's.

Jeff, you mean you forgot the "Infamous" Pinto/Bobcat recall of 1978? Also, the first recall I can find is that of 1959/1960 Cadillac Eldoradoes due to bad tierod ends being made of softer metal which broke in low speed turns.
