Having trouble finding information on the VIN codes for my 1983 F250. VIN is:
1FTHF26G3DPA17695. Door sticker says it has a K tranny and 33 axle. Also the GVWR is 8600 which seems high to me for a F-250.

Would 33 be for both the front and rear axle?

Is 8600 correct for the CVWR?

What would the GCVWR be for this truck?

What does K mean?

Is there a site I can go to for more information?

Thanks, Phil

 

Welcome to FTE!

Yes 8600 is correct.

Vin code says: Ford moto co. USA, 8501 to 9000 pounds F250 HD/ F350, F250 4WD, V8 351W CID 5.8 Liter 2BBL Carb 1981-85, Year 1983, Assembly Plant: Twin Cities, MN

And cant find the info about your trans and Axle, I have it some where!

Hope this helps you!

Thanks Steve

 

I can verify k is a C6 transmission, can't find a code 33 though.

 

33 is a 3.54 geared Dana axle.
GCWR for your truck is 10,000 LBS
