ALL F Series trucks went to 17 digit VIN's in 1981. Prior to 1981, the VIN is 11 digits.
Use the link provided by Mil1ion to decode the VIN, or post it here.
You can also list all the codes from the Warranty (VIN) Plate to discover the following once the codes are decoded: Engine, transmission, rear axle ratio, paint color, upholstery color and material, where the truck was built, and the Ford district sales zone that the truck was ordered from.

Just a note for users.
There is very little info about a truck in a VIN#
The Rating Plate Info is what a person needs to check things over.
The VIN#'s decoders provide little info and are subject to mistakes.
Here's an older one that has mistakes in it as well.
