Trying to decipher my vin#
I am not currently anywhere near my truck....I bought it out of state and all I have is the title application and new plates. I'm wondering if the lady at the deputy registrar's office copied the VIN number correctly as not much seems to add up. Here's the VIN on my title appl. 1FTRF7W8YNBxxxxx There is no assembly plant that is coded with a "B". There is no engine on your list that is an "8"....I can't see how she could have mixed up the 7th and 8th digits and also the 10th and 11th...? I suppose anything is possible.

VIN code deciphering
I never thought of copying the old North Dakota title...it could have been wrong on that, and she copied down what she had. I've never seen an issued title that was that far off....??

I need help finding out how to get a replacement VIN Certification Label (data plate), for my 2003 King. The original was scraped off well before I bought the truck so all I have is the VIN.
Thanks!!
