VIN Question?
I just bought a 69 f-250 that has some rust issues and i already have a 69 f-100 that has been handed down to me from my father. the f-100 is run down but is for the most part solid. what i'm wanting to do is take two trucks and make one by doing a frame off restoration of the latter. what i'm trying to find out is what actually is the vin registered to? the 250 is in my name already and the 100 isnt because i have to bring it to my state of Kentucky from Mississippi and in order to register a vehicle in Kentucky it has to pass inspection. i'm probably going to use the frame from one and mix and match to make a good solid truck. thank you for you info.

THE FIRST ROW (THE VIN)
The first three digits
identify the series:Series Code
F-100 2WD F10
F-100 4WD F11
F-250 2WD F25
F-250 4WD F26
F-350 2WD F35
The fourth digit identifies
the engine:Engine Code
240 cid, 6-cyl. A
300 cid, 6-cyl. (LD) B
302 cid, 8-cyl. G*
390 cid, 8-cyl. H
360 cid, 8-cyl. Y
*The 302 was a mid-year addition in 1969.
Use the vin from whichever frame you use since one is a 250 and the other is a 100. If you put the F100 vin on a cab and it is on a F250 frame it could raise some questions. If possible use the drivers door from the cab that was originally on the frame you use so you won't have to change data plates from one door to the other.
