VIN tag expert / decoder!! Help!!!

Hi, I need help decoding this VIN tag on a 1976 F250 Trailer Special I'm looking to buy...

F2544CO4875 TRUCK F011-R432

GAWR Front 3850
GAWR Rear 4480

I'm especially interested in finding out what rear axle it has... like does it have limited slip or not?

THANKS!!

This isn't the proper door Data tag info that is required to answer your question.

I need ALL the actual rating plate information that is on the rating plate below the VIN#.
You can even include the VIN# too.

Hi mil1ion,

Unfortunately, this is all the info on the tag... I just looked myself, thinking the same thing. However, the last bit of numbers are a little off... here's the whole thing (minus weight ratings)

F25J4CO4875 TRUCK F0011-R0432

Since I didn't write it down on the spot, I think the last part MIGHT be F0101-R0432. But that's all there is... there was nothing filled out at the bottom where I expected to see axle info.

Is there another way to find out? I might already have my answer, because I took it to Les Schwab to have them do a safety check on it. They said it was a fully floating rear end.

Thanks.

It's a 76 2wd, 460. You didn't provide the proper assembly plant code.

You need to read the door plate on the driver's door to find information about the axle, trans, engine, weight, etc.
