Will do that soon as it arrives , the truck will be shipped this week to Europe
|
So if you are having it shipped and don't have it yet, how about asking the person you're buying it from if the original owner's manual is still in the glove box?
|
I bought it myself , and there was no manual , I looked on the tags and vin plate , but no info about the towing weight.
Now I'm back in Holland , waiting for the truck to arrive. I will order a manual , but I doubt the DMV here will give me a towing weight. They normally want to see the towings specs for that speciffic car , not in general. But I will bring them all information and pics I can find |
If you get an original 1976 F-Series Truck owner's manual, it would be kinda difficult for them to debate the numbers. Tell them "this was the manual that came with the truck." Just don't mention anything about the vin actually classifying it as an F130.... that will just confuse them and likely complicate things. It's an F150... so show them the data in the owner's manual under F100/150. It says you can tow up to 2000 lbs. If your truck is equipped with a towing package which would include the monster-sized radiator, then it appears (if I'm reading it right) that you can tow up to 6000 lbs.

I ordered a manual on ebay , now have to wait the manual and the truck to see what it shows

I have just bought a 1976 f150 with 3/4 ton running gear. This thread is the only place I could find that had any info on a f13 vin. Has anyone come across how rare this is?

That is very interesting.
Something simular happened in the 1980 to 1986 truck forum. A guy had an F-200, with F-200 badges and all. The truck was made or built for/in mexico. Perhaps it's something simular??? |
Yeah oddballs are my favorite I also have a 1977 f150 super cab with a 460 in it I'm not sure how rare it is though
|
If you go to https://www.fordification.net/tech/vin.htm and go to f13 it says f150 "special". This doesn't really give more information about it but it does give us what it is called.
|
I have the same thing going on. I think it was a special option truck. IDK:-X24

This should help you alot. It will tell you every aspect of the truck (warranty plate on door, not door jam or frame) its how i figured out my dark brown 1876 f150 8 lug with a 460 and np435 with 3.50 limited slip rear end:

https://www.fordification.net/tech/vin.htm If you read thru this entire thread (and I think there's another thread) it's been thoroughly beaten like a dead horse lol |

I decoded the VIN and all the codes you typed from the Warranty Plate. There are several other anomalies, too. |
