Anyone know how to get the numbers off the door sticker if they're somewhat faded? So i can see the vin better and all the options.

 

You could try posting a picture of it...sometimes the text is easier to see in a picture than with the naked eye...

I believe Marti will make new stickers...not sure what the cost is though.

 

Heres a picture of it

 

 

Is this truck 4x4 or 4x2? Do you have the VIN from the base of the windshield, is it legible?

 

4x4 and I have the vin from the windshield 2FTEF14Y3ECA00763

 

OK, so the VIN breaks down like this...(And other's may come along and correct me here, so don't take this as 100% fact).

2FT - Ford Motor Company of Canada (Country where the truck was manufactured)
E - GVWR rating Class E (6,001-7000 lbs)
F14 - F150 Regular cab 4x4
Y - 4.9L / 300ci 6 cylinder
3 - Check digit for FoMoCo use
E - 1984
C - Ontario Truck Plant in Canada
A00763 - Sequential serial number

Now, the blurry door jamb tag is a different story...

We know that below the WB reads 117" (Since your truck is a Flareside, this is known)
Below "Type-GVW" looks like it probably reads F141 (Others may correct me here) F150, 4x4, 117" WB with 6100 lb GVWR
I'm thinking that below "Body" it reads GH3 - The "G" for Heavy duty Vinyl bench seat, the "H" for desert tan trim color, and the "3" for Flareside bed
Below trans looks like it reads "A" which would be - Manual - 4spd New Process (Granny low first gear, right?)
Below Axle looks like it has an "18", which would be 3.08 Open differentials (If it is "H8" that would indicate limited slip rear diff)
Below "Tape" looks to be blank?....Does this truck have any trim or pin stripes, etc?
Below "Spring" looks like C L, which indicates the front and rear spring part numbers.

The DSO looks like "13", but there's no 13 in the list in my FSM. Maybe 23 for Memphis? Any idea on the history of this truck or where it came from?

Other than that...just the basics. 235/75R15XL tires on 15x5.5 wheels...

Number Dummy may be able to refine this a little. I'm going with some assumptions here...

 

What color is this truck?

 

Truck is black with pin stripes

 

Ok then. In the lower left corner of the door jamb data sticker, you see where it says "Type - Truck", just below the Type is where the paint code is.
I believe black is 1C (and yours looks like it has a C there).
Pin stripes would be desert tan in color (Somebody can correct me here)

Interior is tan colored, correct?

Truck looks good and remarkably unmolested...really hard to find them in original-ish condition like that, especially the 4x4 trucks. Looks like everything is there, even the factory licence plate bracket, and rear bumper, etc. Rust in the usual spots...typical for the northeast.

1984 will have factory hydraulic clutch, which is nice in case you ever decide to swap in a later model 5spd trans.

 

Interior is tan and thank you for the information. It definitely needs some work as the wood bed is rotted away and there is some rot on the doors but other that than I should have it running soon.

 

Well, the beds rotted away on all of them...so the fact the truck is as intact as it is 34 years later is impressive. I think that is a perfect base for a Bullnose project. A 4x4 Flareside with 300/6 and NP435 4spd....doesn't get any better than that. I'd love to have it myself. Keep us posted on how it goes.

 

Will do. Once I get the ball rolling on it I'll post pictures showing how its coming along

 

I'll be rebuilding the bed and wood floor in my 84 Flareside this winter, so I'll be starting a thread on that in a couple months.

 

The floor is problematic for me as well
