Hello Everyone

[debdeb]

Hey everybody just registered today, hoping someone here can give me the info I can't seem to find. I bought what I was told is a 1948 F68 Pickup. I have the VIN plate from the firewall and can't find any info on what the numbers mean...Help DF83H48-32256 :headbang

Sure can - welcome to FTF btw!!

F68 means it was considered a 3/4 ton in the US or 1 ton in CAN I think. 68 is code for 6800 GVWR

DF is for the 3/4 ton Ford
83 means standard cab express 122" wheelbase
H48 assembly plant was Home office (Windsor, Ontario) built in 1948
32256 is the serial number assigned to your truck

We love pictures and please jump down a couple of forums and join us in the 48-52 truck forum.
