Ok, someone told me this plate indicates the year of the truck as 1970, I had been told it was a 72. Any ideas if this is tells you?

It is a '70, this is one of the best truck decoders I know of on the web (click on the Ford VIN Decoder at the left):

For sure, thats the original.

Thanks for the input guys, the reason I was confused is I thought it was a 70, but the guy who is selling it to me swore up and down it was a 72.

Also, someone brought to my attention that my wheelbase was definatley the long bed I guess. Good thing I didnt buy that 6' bed I was about to buy...

THANKS!

Matt
