I have found a F250 for sale but the owner doesn't know the GVWR, or seem sure of the engine/trans fitted.

He has given me codes - GVW - x268
Axle - C5
Spring - 7k
VIN - 1fthx2617gkb12420

Is someone able to decode these for me?

Thanks very much

 

https://www.ford-trucks.com/vin-deco...x.php?a=decode there you go buddy! fyi i found the decoder at the top of the screen in the article/ spec list.

 

Excellent! Didn't know it was there!

Thank you

 

no problem.

 

Odd... I Live 5 miles from the now defunct Norfolk plant, yet mine was built in KC. I guess there's no telling where it was for the whole 22 years before I got it.

 

you can do a carfax on it. I found out where mine has been for 22 years

 

It's at MY house, and it runs now. THAT'S what matters!

 

i guess it really doesn't matter, just curiosity. its always interesting who and where cars come from. i bought my 1990 integra ls with 56,xxx original one owner miles, i live in chambersburg pa, when i did a carfax the original owner lived in arizona. weird huh? things that make you go hmmmmm.........

 

My 83 has been in my driveway for all 25 years. Bet Carfax won't tell me that!

 

This might be a good time to post this.

I have decoded the vin on my truck but still don't know about a couple of things on the doorplate like: type-gvw f155, body lg4. I know code k is c6 tranny and code 18 is 3.08 rear end.

That box to the right of the vin has me intrigued and I don't know the spring code.

Can anybody help me on this please, would really apreciate it

Hopefully my attempt at inserting a picture will work
