That is pretty cool. One question though, what is position #9 in a VIN number? That is the only one that isn't listed.

The ninth vehicle identification number digit is a VIN accuracy check digit, verifying the previous VIN numbers. This is how the check digit works

I think it's going to be pretty slick when it's all ironed out.

I sent feedback a couple of days ago re: 49/50 and early 51 vins that all read "you have a 1949 model truck"

We have a few bugs still left to iron out. Ford's literature conflicts for some items, we have missing data for others, etc. VIN decoding can get quite complicated when you have one decoder that works for almost a 60 year spread!

Also, as time goes by it will expand to cover more lines. Ranger/Bronco data is limited in it, Econoline isn't covered yet, etc.

Pretty cool! Most of the info was blank on mine but, when bugs get worked out it’ll be sweet!
