There's a decoder in the 1998 tech articles.

Welcome to FTE!

You could have just posted it with your question.

It would have been decoded by now.

Without having the info it's tough.

I'll take shot at it without you telling me.

You could always go to my web site & decode it yourself.

The vin is f10glbj4083 Now if i looked this up right, it is a 2wd. Well there is clear evidence that it is a 4x4, and everything is rusted together pretty good, but still could be a conversion, or maybe a different vin than what the truck originally had. Is there any odd place for the vin which peole would not normally change? Like a tag somewhere?
