Hello folks,
I hate to just throw my numbers out there and just ask for a translation. I scoured through this thread and figured most of it out but I still have questions. Please correct me if I'm wrong:
My vin is:
97HC315466 * RIC
9: 1950
7H: 6 cylinder
C: 1/2 ton (F-1)
315xxx: early 1950 (3-speed on the floor)
RIC: Richmond, California? or is that Virginia?
Now my biggest question is regarding the firewall stamp.
From what I'm understanding is RH (RIC on the VIN) is for Richmond (still not clear if that means California or Virginia)
As for the rest of it, I'm at a loss. I don't know what is the paint code (it's been painted over a couple times) or the manf. date. I'm primarily trying to figure out the real paint code...
. I
And here it is, with this lousy faux rust paint, right over the little bit of patina (rust haha) it once had (and still does):
(and fake white walls)

Can I ask you how you came up with Sheridan Blue? I only ask because I've sanded down beneath this red color and only found 2 very light colors, either a gray or dull blue-ish...

The Richmond thing threw me for quite a while too, at first. Mine's a '56 'R' code.
Several online sources seem to refer the 'R' or 'RH' codes to Richmond, VA. Since there doesn't appear to ever have been a Ford plant here (only Norfolk), it must refer to Richmond, CA.
When I looked mine up, it said Richmond VA, which then leads to Richmond CA, and neither of those are correct either because production moved from there to San Jose between '53 and '56. So my 'R' code is actually San Jose, CA.
