I don't know much about this truck!
I have recently purchased a 1979 F-250 Custom Explorer 4x4. What I do know is that the engine has been swapped out with a 460. It still has the original tranny and axles, a little surface rust and needs a lot of TLC. When I tried to do a VIN search the number is not long enough. Is there a secret to adding characters to make the VIN long enough to be searchable? Any help would be appreciated!

In 1981 a new Amercian standard for VIN#'ing was created ....it became a 17 digit code from the other Ford 11 digit code system.

Here is what I found out from my VIN:
Results for VIN#: F26HPEE4262
Model Year: 79
Series: F250 - 4x4 Pickup
Engine: 8 Cyl, 351ci (5.8L) 2bbl
Assembly Plant: St. Paul
Transmission: Automatic, Ford C6
Front Axle: ('78-79) P.S. w/adj col.
Rear Axle: 3.54 5300lb Dana 60
Granted the engine has been swapped for a 460, I believe the rest is right.
