Can someone help with VIN decode
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

Eh, true... but what's the difference where it was?
It's at MY house, and it runs now. THAT'S what matters!

Can't find a dataplate decoder
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
