FTE vin decoder info error
I punched the VIN from the frame on what surely looks like a "highboy", (narrow frame, divorced 203 transfer case, ram assist power steering, 4 inch spacer blocks in the rear spring pack) into the FTE vin decoder and it outputed that it was a 78 F250 4wd, engine unknown.
The vin is F26YLBO6757. All prior info tells me that it is a 73-77.5 truck. What gives?

No 360s after 1976...
The O you have is a 0
Vin decodes as a 1976 F250 4WD Pickup built at the Michigan Truck plant in December 1975 and powered by a 8 cyl 360 cid 2-bbl engine.

Bullitt is correct, the letter "O" is incorrect. The letter "O" never appeared on the 7th digit. It should be the number zero, "0".

Thanks guys.
The 0 vs O is my fault. I had that question in my mind whether it was a letter or a number and I chose letter because I have another vin number that has an unmistakable "C" in the seventh spot so assumed that they all were letters.
Anyway, thanks again, it clears up a lot of confusion with my truck.
