How can you find all the build info, color code, etc from the VIN? thx

 

VIN won't tell you that, you need the warranty plate.

Buying a marti report may give you the info you're after.

Also NumberDummy already gave you that info in your thread titled "Are all 76 F250s Highboy's?"

 

I had this in the original paperwork still with the truck, is this what you mean? Can anyone run this for me or how would I go about it. Trying to match the paint color, its a white, just not sure which one as there appears to be 3 from 1977.

1977 F150

 

NumberDummy may decode that, I've never seen that before, cool find.
The warranty plate I'm referring to is on the door. Looks like the attached pic.
Here's a link to decode things yourself.

excellent... thx for the link!!!

 

I ordered a Marti Report for my truck and it has a ton of information on it.

 

1/23/2019: I already decoded all the Warranty Plate codes in post #12 of your High Boy thread. Here it is again:

F26 = F250 4WD Pickup.

Y = 360 2V

R = San Jose CA Assembly Plant.

C53188 = 1976.

133" Wheelbase.

S = Bright Dark Blue Metallic.

F262 = F250 4WD Pickup, 7700 lbs. GVWR

EB4: EB = Blue all Vinyl / 4 = Styleside Pickup.

C = C6 Automatic Transmission.

24J: 24 = Dana 60 Rear Axle / 4.10-1 / 5,300 lbs Rear Axle Capacity // J = Power Steering.

7,700 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.

1976.

747339:

74 = Seattle WA Ford District Sales Office, where the original selling dealer ordered the truck from.

7339 = Domestic Special Order invoice number, truck ordered special by the original purchaser, not "bought off the lot."

 

Yes, that was much appreciated! That was for my my 1976 F250, this is a different truck I'm asking about however, I also have a white 1977 F150 and I wasn't sure how you had gone about finding out all the info on my highboy.

 

this is the one... Im calling her White Turd. Not quite as nice as my highboy Big Red

 

Since you're so good at posting pics, post a pic of the Warranty Plate, riveted to the left door face below the latch.

Since 11/2006, I've decoded over 1,000 Warranty Plates using Ford parts catalogs

 

Not sure if the M on that warranty tag you have is for the color code but the fordification site suggest Wimbledon White as used on trucks from 73-79. Does it appear off-white ish when clean?

 

This is not a warranty tag, it's the Owners Card. It had to be shown at FoMoCo dealers for warranty work.

M = 1964/72: Wimbledon White; 1973/79: White (see pic).

However there's no way to decode these cards (even though the VIN and some of the codes are obvious), so while M may be the COLOR code, it may not be.

 

I think you're being modest. I bet you can add at least one more zero on there lol
