new to the forum with questions

Post by lightning »

I am new to the forum. I have a 69 f100. The tag with all the vin info on it says that it was rated at 175 hp at 400 rpm, but the engine code indicates that it was a 360 auto. It also has a clutch pedal and the vin # indicates that it was an automatic.

Hey Lightning...

Welcome to the forum...
That's pretty normal...
Some of these trucks had multiple power plant changes and other alterations by previous owners... You can never be sure.
The vin #'s only tell you what was in it when it came off of the assembly line...

Welcome to the forum ask away. As Kaptain said who knows what has changed. Mine is a 69 and the vin says it is green with a 360 and an automatic. When I bought it it was maroon and wimbledon white with a 351 Windsor.
