Just joined today. Currently I'm looking into buying an old 1966 Ford T850 Super Duty and restoring it. I've been having a hard time decoding the vin. I was looking through different forum posts and have noticed that members here and a wealth of knowledge in that area. Hoping you could help me out.
Vin # T85KUA15449
Any and all info you could supply would be Mich appreciated! Trying to ensure this is what I want before I buy it.
Thanks NumberDummy for the clarification on the year. It looks to be what I'm looking for as I can't find any t950's so far. The t850 I'm looking at is a good 5.5 hrs away so I'm trying to get all the info I can before I make the trek. Doesn't look to be in running condition but I can't complain about the $800 asking price. It's a cheap way to get into these awesome trucks.

1957/69 T700/950 is an F700/950 with Tandem Axles.
1967/69 F800/1000 & T700/950 use the same cab as 1961/64 F100/1100; 1965 F100/250 4WD; 1965/66 F350/1100; 1966 F250 4WD
The doors, all the glass and the weatherstrips are the same as 1961/66 F100/1100 (doors: except 1961/63 F100/250 Uni pickups) & T700/950.
The weatherstrips are reproduced, but the repro parts sellers only list them for F100/350, as this is what most people have.
Please post further questions in the LARGE TRUCK forum.
Don't be deceived by a low asking price. Big trucks means big parts which means big money. If you are in the business you probably know this. Don't ask be how I found out..Sometimes the seller could give the truck and $5,000.00 and you will come out on the short end of the stick. As suggested in post 2 if the transmission and rear are vendor parts you may be able to get parts through the vendors if they are still in business.
I appreciate the warning shadyside1983. I currently have a 1995 Ford CF8000 20ft flatbed with an 8.3 Cummins and my class a cdl. I want a truck with a higher gvwr/gcwr and a shorter wheel base. I've also always wanted a classic vehicle so I'm planning a full restomod to get both. It'll take lots of time, effort, and money but that's what I'm expecting.

Sorry about the miss on the year. I was trying to make the numbers fit what you said rather than believing them for what they are...I'm always learning!
