Need some Vin# help please.
Ok, a few weeks ago I asked where to find the Vin# on my '53 f-100. Several of you came through and I thought I had found the number. Well, I looked it up on a couple decoders and I don't think I have the right number.
The number I found, as best I can tell, is something like:
M0D3019184 followed by a star.
I'm at a loss.
Any suggestions?

Could the "M" be an F followed by a 1?
Could the second "0" be another roundish letter like C or D?
Could
M0D3019184
actually be
F10D3C19184?
or
F10D3D19184?
F10 - F-100 truck series
D - 215 CID OHV in-line 6 cylinder
3 - 1953
C - Chester assembly plant
or
D - Dallas assembly plant
19184 - consecutive unit number (starts at 10001)

My father-in-law and brother-in-law got it figured out. They cleaned it up more and figured out the real number.
It ended up being F10D3U19184.
You were right though, we were reading some of the characters wrong. Not hard to do with over 50 years worth of stuff to scratch through on the rail.
Thanks for the reply.
