Exclamation HELP HELP....someone...anyone.... :)

Hi all,



Hope someone can help.. ok I am trying to solve my major VIN # problem . Problem being nobody can figure out what it belongs tooo so I am in a huge delima after owning this bronco for a few years and a complete body off resto and all the goods to make it a trail king. the vin was corrected by the previous owner on the title and is the REAL # off the trucks vin plate, which was the one on the truck and never had been off or removed. The truck is a 73 wagon sport, i bought it from my buddy 3 years ago, he purchased it from a friend in Utah.

Now the number is on the title correctly and such but everytime I go to the dmv or such they always say that they can't find anything via that number! (what a pain too, as if i have to tell you about dmv experinces) So i have repeatedly have had to go through a dmv inspection station to verify the number as accurate (yet another dmv nightmare) but like i said it is whats on the truck and they just cant figure the code out!! Now i just moved to the west coast and I am just absoulty not looking forward to anything to do with the dmv, title all that such around my parts because of the major problem with the dmv here. I would love to have an expliantion as to what the code on my vin # really reports to be.. Until i get it solved and documented I most likly will leave the vehcile titled in my old state and keep the reg current through them as well. ( thank goodness for friends back there).


but anyways, can someone figure this out cause so far i am not having luck

VIN # UQTGLR53905

YES it is very wierd because it does not give a number following the U!!!!

This is what i have been able to figure out


Build Month - March 1973 code# R53905
Assembly Plant - Michigan Truck Code #L
Engine - 302 cid, 8cyl code #G

So what the heck is the QT ?? I know the U is for the bronco series but everyplace i go to decode this vin reports it as unknown.. It should be like U15 or U14 ..etc... Anyone know????

Any Help would be more than appreciated!

Thanks
Brian

Vin numbers cannot have Q's in it.
