VIN Decode, Please
VIN Decode, Please
Hi guys. Awesome forum! Looks like I'll be at least lurking around here, although I very well may become a regular poster like i am in the BMW world. Pardon my screenname. Old habits are hard to break.
Anyway, could you help me find out some things about my new truck? I just picked it up the other day, knowing it needed a carburetor (and about 15 bucks worth of gas just to get the electric fuel pump wet).
I don't recognize the engine, but I tend to think it's a 332 Lincoln y-block? Looks like factory dual exhaust with ram horns that have the bolt holes NOT all lined up. Mated to what appears to be a Clark 5-speed with a casting number 219016. Not sure if it's an overdrive or not. 1st (granny) gear is over to the right and to the rear, across from reverse. 2nd gear is where most cars have first gear.
As shown:
24R
351
Here's a shot of the door jamb-mounted vin plate.
In case you can't see the VIN clearly, it's F10JR430085
Thanks in advance and keep up all the great work guys.
