Hi there I am in Australia and have purchased an F100 that nobody seams to know what year it is including Vic Roads I have chassis No (FD3003S). If anyone can help me find out what year and model this is it would be very much appreciated.
PS: it has metal dash no padding thanks

 

Can you post some pictures? No padding on the dash I would guess 1966 or older.

 

hi thanks but posting rules wont let me post attachments
I have since found vehicle identification plate with prefix AKIJHR and serial 32185 and all vin checkers i have tried require a 17 digit code.thanks randy

if you like I could email you pics mine is randyjackie1987@hotmail.com if you dont want to post yours you can send me email and I will reply

 

Check out the photo gallery at the top of the page. Compare the front grill from different years. Look in the 1961-1966 forumand post you question there..

I've posted pic's with only 7 posts nothing has been said yet. I don't really see a pic as an attachment.

 

Welcome to FTE

Australian VIN's are totally different than US VIN's.

All 1961/80 US truck VIN's are 11 digits long: 1965 example: F10DR639123.

Beginning in 1981, the VIN is 17 digits long.

FTE has an Australian Chapter, you might post a thread inre to your VIN question there.

 

Hi ND, the above post is interesting in that my truck that I am trying to re rego in NZ has the chassis F10JR370056 on the chassis by the battery box with a number FT20115 on the chassis in front of the firewall. The front clip looks like a Chev, cheers Bernie

 

Photos of the truck would be very useful.

Without a door code we cannot tell you much.

F10 is normally associated with F-100 2WD.

A 5th letter "R" is associated with San Jose, CA plant, but you said the truck is foreign?
Like I said, we don't have much information to work with unless someone can decode a vin off of an Australian / NZ pickup.

 

This is a US VIN

F10 = F100 2WD

J = 223 1V I-6.

R = San Jose CA Assembly Plant.

370056 = 1963, assembled January 1963.

1963/79: Warranty Plate located on the left door face below the latch.
