I had the same kind of issue with my code. The first letter is x and it wouldnt read what model it was being f350. It just said unknown. I put an F in place of the x and it fixed the code and came up with what the truck is. Why is that?

Especially the direct ordered U-Hauls, some Ryders and other mass production "special" trucks.

I think I speak for most of us when I say we appreciate you sharing the information on the "F130" truck.

It has been an oddity the last few years around here because there is NO information about it. None in the Ford archives, none in the Master Parts Catalogs, nothing.

What is most unusual is why Ford would call it an F130 in the warranty/ VIN papers. You would think it would be an F200 or something since it is a half-breed F150/F250 like the Argentina/ Brazil trucks.

Hmmm...

Can you take some more pictures?

I sure can, I'll pull it out and use the digital camera to take some better pics and post them on my photo bucket account.

It would have been dealer installed or installed at another vendor. It would be a bass-ackward way to do it though.

My only guess would be the bed was added at a later time.
