1957, My 32 huppmobile My first car, I sent it to the scrap yard and then started work on a winning A dragster.,

If you want a good tire paint, check with Russia, have you noticed how good the missile carries in their May Day parade look? Actually, because Russia can't afford to change tired every 6 years due to ozone cracking, they paint them to protect them from ozone. So maybe there is a new life for tire paint!

With 5 cars registered, i get about 50 miles per year driving to local events. 😁 Gas mileage varies.

Danny, looking at the side view of the drag line bucket, I can see the front of a mini car, just add a seat and a few wheels.

Don't store a Vinal top in the down position as it will shrink, and you will not be able to put it up, Besides the mice love to sleep in it over the winter.

More pic's,

Correct VIN is 1FTYX98X4GVAC281010 I am guessing on the last 3 digits based on the best photo submitted by Larry. I think the 8th number (x) means there is a hidden #, 4.

You won't believe what I did, When I copied the correct VIV it didn't save it! I will start over again!

BINGO ! WITH YOUR HELP, i FINNALY GOT THE CORRECT VIN. Thank You from the bottom of my heart, Larry and all the others that took the time to help.

Check Digit (9th position) is correct"

Quoted from Google, " What are the old Ford divisions? Ford now encompasses two brands: Ford and Lincoln. Ford once owned 5 other luxury brands: Volvo, Land Rover, Jaguar, Aston Martin, and Mercury. Over time, those brands were sold to other companies and Mercury was discontinued."

The truck was made in the Louisville Kentucky plant. I am trying to find out what division of Ford it is called for purposes of the VIN,, I would think it would be T for Truck?

According to a decoder that I printed, the second and third #s are the Manufacturer and division.

Best Image yet! thanks, Roger ( the third letter is "T" for truck ( I think)

i CHECKED THAT SITE ALSO, i AN TRYING SEVERAL DIFFERENT NUMBERS AS SUGGESTED BY THE SITE. THANK YOU, ROGER

THE THIRD IS A "T FOR TRUCK I THINK.

I would like to thank everyone that helped me determining the VIN for my Cab over CLT 9000 THANK YOU VERY MUCH 🙂🙂🙂 Roger Walling

One more pic taken in RAW MACRO. (I think) The site would not take it, it said larger than Maxum size The number that we are trying to read should be 6 ditgits.

I am trying but I cant seem to get the correct setting. Roger

Terry B, Thank you. I will take a few more pics and maybe we can get the last 2 digits!

A Bear, Thank you, I will take more shots. Roger

Yesterday I reset my camera to manual and got some better pics of the VIN sticker. I now can read most of the letters and 3 of the numerals. I am going to set the contrast to a different level and hope fully I may be able to read the whole VIN. My manual for my camera is 240 pages long and I know almost nothing about photography. I got a lot of studying to do. Roger

I spray a strong detergent onto the frame and wet it well. Then I use cold water in a 1500 lb. pressure. I start from a distance to remove most dirt and grease, then take notice of delicate wires etc. and then go closer to the indestructible parts. I can remove grease from a truck fifth wheel so well that you can eat a jelly sandwich from it. The beauty of the cold water and detergent is that it flushes cleanly from the concrete without leaving a film on it as long as you don't step in the blobs of grease.

Thank you, Don. Yesterday I pressure washed the frame and today I will go over it with a fine-tooth comb. I have had comments that the VIN was stamped on the side of the frame, but I always thought that the top was the preferred area? I appreciate that your friend took the time to examine the photo of the pic of the VIN. Please thank him for me.
