Re: VIN decode please
Thanks John, I read it but some reason couldnt really figure mine out, I found a good site that decodes it. Now I just have to figure out how to decode the sn on the frame to find out what year it is. Any suggestions?

Re: VIN decode please
you must have used the same search engine, thats the same stats I got for it, but my frame isn't from that year, so how do I tell what year it is?

Re: VIN decode please
Not to steal the tread, But my truck's vin makes it a 71 and it's put on with what looks like factory rivits, but from what I read on here it's a 72 cab. Thanks any comments or opinions.

Re: VIN decode please
Could be the end of the 71 model year frame and they mated it with a 72 cab due to the start up of the 72 model run...this is just a thought.
