Save the Y Block even if it is a 239. Know a guy that has one that I believe will run. Drop in wile you over haul yours or use for parts. It is dirt cheep. PM me if interested and I will see If he still has it.

The truck is all orignal and I'd like to keep it that way unless the 239ci motor isn't worth the trouble. It's not running now so I figure now is the time to make those kind of changes. Any thoughts about it?

Hey guys, I was wondering if someone could help me decode my vin number. I just bought my 55 yesturday so I'm real curious about it the vin is F10N5H27702, I tried a vin decoder online that I found but it didn't give me all the info (engine, I know it was a V8 but right now it has a straight 6 in her). Also could someone tell me where I can find the vin tag on the truck, I've looked under the hood in the normal spots but havent found it yet. Thanks in advance....

Vin tag is on inside of glove box door in 55
F10 = F100 1/2T
N = Engine code N is not a valid code in 55 should be D, V, Z, J, or K
5 = year 1955
H = assembly plant Detroit
27702 = production # 27,702 unit made
