Hi all, would you help decoding this VIN. Looking at the truck this weekend and thinking of buying. Any way to estimate its value. Frame seems fairly clean with little rust or rot. Engine may be stuck. Thanks.
I can give you a couple items.
Engine code C: 330 2v medium duty FT engine.
GVWR 17000 lbs, you knew that.
Wheels: You have the "Dayton" or "Western" style of spoked wheel. Congrats, you dodged the widowmakers! If those are tube-type tires, you can either stick with those or convert to tubeless by getting the 22.5" tubeless rims that will bolt right up to your spokes.
All that equipment on there, is that something you want?
When you look, step on the brake. Should be hard as a rock with the engine off.
Check the insides of the tires. Black, "clean looking" stains may indicate a blown wheel cylinder with brake fluid leaking. Fixable.
Brake drums are not to be had. They are usually ok. There have not been a lot of posts here on these trucks with bad drums.
