Looking Forward...

Hi, I have just entered into my first restoration attempt. Wish me luck! I have a 1953 F250 and a 1950 F1... I have decided to work the F1 first. I have ordered some parts and a couple of books to get me started... waiting for the deliveries. Soo.... until then... please take my lack of experience in stride... and throw the new guy a few tips from time to time . That said... here is my first question... where do I find the VIN on my 1950 F1? I have the serial # 98RC322598 from the previous owners registration... but I thought a VIN had to have 17(+) characters.... Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated! Thanks ahead of time.

Hi AK50, welcome to FTE the BEST of the rest.

You should post your questions in one of the site's tech forums. Maybe you might want to start here,,, 1948 - 1960 F1, F100 And Larger F-Series Trucks - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums

FTE has a local chapter for Alaska members which you can find at this link,,, Alaska Chapter - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums

Good luck on your projects.
