79 F-350

Correct me IF I 'm wrong but shouldn't a VIN on 79 F-350 start with F36 ?

The first 3 digits are the series code.

1979 would be the first year for F36 as it was the first year for a F350 4x4 will.

An 4x2 will start with F35.

I have seen (and own) two crew cab F250 4x4s that are similarly equipped. One is a F28, the other is a F26. As previously mentioned, a 2WD F250 will most always be a F25, 4x4 is F26, 2wd F350 F35,


Supercabs start with an X instead of an F, and the same lettering schedule applies.
