something odd

so ive been truck hunting for a while now and friday night, i encountered something pretty peculiar. i found a 1968 f250 ranger. seemed to be in decent shape and everything. here comes the weird part. the guy opens the door and shows me the VIN tag, and it says F260. he said that is what is on the title aswell. so is it a misprint like he says, or is this some well kept ford secret? anyway, its 2 grand and im considering buying it, f260 or not. maybe ill live up to my name and end up with a "one of a kind" truck.

yeah that is just the vin. the F26 means 4x4 f-250. being that he knows little about it , maybe he is unsure of what he has. try to low ball it.
