the vin is located on the drivers door.
if you post the vin here someone will decode it for you.
on the same plate if i remember right it will have the year of the truck.
as far as engine size the vin will tell you original size. but not necissarilly current size.
ranger was one of the models of the f100
as for the interior power check the fuses, door jamb swithces and interior light bulb.

Welcome to FTE
The VIN and other info is listed on the Warranty Plate, which is located on the left door face below the latch.
The VIN is 11 digits. The last 6 digits, when decoded, denote the year.
The actual year of the truck is not stamped on the Warranty Plate till 1976/1977.
Make SURE the VIN on the Warranty Plate matches the VIN on the registration.
Peeps swapped left doors due to damage, forgot to swap over the original Warranty Plate.
The VIN is also STAMPED on the top of the right (passenger) side frame rail...just in front of the cab.

A: 240 1V I-6
C: Ontario, Canada Assembly Plant
J11770: 1970 (1970 Serial Number range: G30,001 thru J70,000)
Does the Warranty Plate VIN match the VIN on the registration?
If this VIN matches the VIN on the registration, your truck is a 1970, not a 1972.
If it does not match, the left door has been replaced.

Someone in Atlanta ordered a truck and it had to be produced in Canada rather than Norfolk. Woah back.

C has stood for the Ontario Canada Assembly Plant since 1956.
I've decoded VIN's here on FTE where the trucks were sold new out of Pittsburgh PA, Washington DC, Denver CO and Fargo, ND, but the trucks were assembled in Canada.
Most of the 1967/72 and all of the 1973/1979 Crew Cabs were assembled in Canada.
