Have a few questions about Vin codes
Is there a place on the net that i can decipher my Vin?
I'm new to Fords and don't have any knowledge of what means what in Vin. I could just ask you guys to tell me...but whats the fun in that? I would rather learn to read it myself. Thanks |
I don't know of a free VIN decoder on the web that is 100% correct, but I have a manual listing the codes and what they mean. Here goes:
1981-1986 Bronco 1FT B U15 N @ DP AXXXXX [1-3][4][5-7][8][9][10,11][12-17] 1-3 World MFR. Id 1FT=USA/2FT=Canada 4 GVW Class B=3-4,000#/C=4-5K#/D=5-6K#/E=6-7K#/F=7-8K# 5-7 Series code U15=U150 Bronco Wagon 4WD 8 Engine code ( this is the real 'meat' of the VIN, what you can decode from it that's useful. The rest is just the gravy, except the model year code) E=300cid 6cyl. 4.9L 1bbl carb 81-82 Y= " " " " " 83-86 F=302cid V8 5.0L 2bbl carb 81-85 N= " " " EFI 85/86 W=351M V8 5.8L 2bbl carb 1981 ( last year for the 351M, 77-81) G=351W V8 5.8L 2bbl carb 81-85 H= " " " 4bbl carb 84-86 ( the H.O. version) 9 Check digit ( internal usage) 10 Model year code B=1981/C=1982/D=1983/E=1984/F=1985/G=1986 11 Assembly plant N=Norfolk/P=TwinCities/S=PilotPlant/U=Louisville/Z=StLouis 12-17 Assembly numerical sequence- If you ever need to post your VIN number, leave these as "X"'s just to be safe. |

It is pretty accurate. It does trucks from 1982-2005. -Matt :-tap P.S. Welcome to FTE! Be sure to check out the Guidelines when you get a chance! See ya on the boards! :-wink |
