Is there a website where you can enter your trucks VIN to determine what options it came with?

 

No because Ford would have to make their database of information publicly available and to my knowledge they haven't done that yet. What are you trying to find out?

 

I too would be interested in finding out everything I can on my truck. I bought it used in 95.

 

The best way to do this is to have a GOOD Ford dealer do that for you. GOOD and dealer service department rarely go hand in hand, but at the very least, if you have one you have some kind of relationship with, they would probably print one out for you. It doesn't cost them anything and it builds good relationship with you. Things like axle, tranny, carry capacities are usually in the doorjamb, if that sticker is still there.

 

Ford's database for our older trucks is pretty limited, but if you want to post your VIN, I'll see what I can find out for you.

 

Are you able to get information from the dealer or just something like the ford fleet website?

 

This site has a vin decoder, think its under the tech articles.

 

Post the vin and get the attention of NUMBERSDUMMY. According to him the decoders on this site and LMC are junk but he can get you the info.

 

I have access to the Ford EPC (electronic parts catalog)

 

Go to this thread. The site is doing maintenance but it is unbelievable the info it will give you

Oooo I cant wait to try this decoder! hope the sites back up soon!! Amazing stuff it gave on that truck!!! WOW

Waiting

 

I'll try to remember to post my VIN up when I get home tonight.

 

I emailed Ford several years ago and they gave me a complete list of all of the factory installed options and the actual day of manufacture.

This will not be an actual build sheet-because they will not give you a factory codes for each option-it will be listed in regular English and will not be in the build sheet format.

Ford needs the VIN, of course, and your snailmail address-because Ford will only snailmail you the option information on your vehicle. I think that it took two weeks to get a response back from Ford on their official Ford letterhead letter.
I do not know if Ford still does this or not but maybe some of the VIN part may help you.

Here is what I did:
Email crcfmc@ford.com and provide the following pieces of information:

Name:
Address:
City:
State:
Zip Code:
Cellular Phone Number:
Daytime Phone Number:
Home Phone Number:
Odometer Reading:
Servicing Dealership:
VIN#:
Year of truck:
Model:


Here is what they sent me this, I edited out the name, address and unit number:


Another example:

It's been several years, July 2001, since I asked for and received that same report on my Ranchero, which was much simpler optioned. So they may still supply this since Bill also got it in 2007.


You can also try your VIN at THIS site. It won't bring up my EX-1998 F150 but will show a friends 2001 F150.

 

I did find this site where you can enter your vin to get information on it.
