59 VIN format
Dear All, SOrry for the annoying question but can someone tell me what the VIN on a 1595 should look like and where I can find info to decode?
THanks, Mark |

Re: 59 VIN format
Thanks Very much. The VIN in question starts with a V. I assume this means it came originally with a V8?

Re: 59 VIN format
Thanks very much Dave! I just found this truck and its a beauty. SHort fleet with a big back window and the hydromatic four speed auto. I have always been a 60-66 guy, but this truck and in particular this body style has converted me big time.
