vin code help?
Ok,after searching for hours and figuring out where to look and what to look for,i came up puzzled on the vin of my 74 f100.Anyone want to tell me what axles i have?
this is what i have off of the vin
17 S F100 2 4 C 09
04600 21
I know i have a 1974 f100 2x4 with the 240 6 cylinder and 3 speed manual shift.

The VIN number is a long number that is on your title and starts F most of the time.
The "Vehicle Certification Label" has the "ratings codes" on it for your vehicle.

117 = Wheelbase = 117"
S = Colour = Midnight Blue
F100 = Truck ID
2 =Body Code Interior colour = Blue ?
4= Body design = Syleside
C = Transmission = 3spd Manual
09= Axle code = 3.70:1
04600 = GVWR = 4600 lbs
21 = DSO = Atlanta GA.
