is there a reliable complete 73-79 tag decode
site?
i looked on the usual one everybody links to
and i cant make sense of some codes i was given plus there seems to be missing data

thankyou

 

Decode the info using the 1973/79 Ford 100/500 Truck Parts Catalog, available on a C/D from hipoparts.com

Or, post a pic of the Warranty Plate & Safety Standard Certification Label, or type the codes...and I'll decode all of the info.

11+ years on Ford truck sites, I've decoded over 1,000 Rating/Warranty Plates/Certification Labels.

 

thanks. as long as you have the correct full key/table/codes a poorly trained chimpanzee can
decode them

infact " de coding" sounds more impressive than it actually is. this isnt zodiac killer stuff and as a poorly trained chimpanzee myself
i have decoded plenty of various brands but sometimes theres missing info or unusual codes.


if it helps anyone there are some decode tables in the lmc catalogue too but not all of them.


maybe they gave me the wrong codes ??? i will ask again and re check
thanks again!

in the meantime here they are if anybody wants to check. im wanting to work out front AND rear axles and body codes

axles
24J
22N
B4A

body type
BTM
CA4
more to come
thanks!

 

Come on man, that's not very nice

You ask for help, Bill is the go to guy for this on ALL the sites, he came along, and you chastised him
You made a coment in another thread about very few people responding in that thread
Think about that

Bill is a big asset to all the sites, and I think I want to thank him, not tell him he's a trained monkey

 

im sorry guys i really wasnt calling Bill a monkey i was pointing out how simple it is to decode this stuff as long as anybody has the FULL and CORRECT info at hand
but.. i DID refer to myself as a poorly trained chimp and i wasnt offended hahaha!
and i am
gratefull for help. the other comment was just me making an observation that it seems to be just 2-3 people here actively responding not any type of complaint.
sorry if any of that offended anybody that wasnt the intention.

 

It would help if you had posted the year and series of these trucks. First two digits of the Body code are year specific.

LMC's VIN decoders aren't worh two cents, are rife with errors and omissions.

 

Thanks Bill i share your frustration
the trucks are 73\79 as per this forum area but are 78\9 f250
Afaik.
Yes its frustrating when places or people spout info or put out info with authority like its accurate when its not even correct and you go to these "experts" or professional outlets
Hoping to learn something new the problem is made worse sometimes by they're ego not allowing them to say that they don't actually know so then its magnified by the next person
Armed with they're new knowledge they accepted without question then spreading the bs even further add some Chinese whispers and the internet or a few beers and before long this bs is gospel!
Maybe its been done? But a good decode table could be added edited verified
And placed as a sticky on here? That would save some wrong Misleading info being spread and free up space from posts like this.

The PPO just found this tag for my vehicle and is mailing it. He indicated that this was attached to the firewall. Decode this!

 

Well, can anybody decipher the tag above? After two days of research on the internet, I need a beer! The door vin decal is incomplete and missing some details.

 

If you find out how to decode this let me know I have one I would like to decode also. Thanx

 

The VIN is on that tag

 

I have an uncle that’s in auto body I’m going to ask him when I see him. I know he goes to this tag for paint codes
