IHC VIN Decoder

[Thomas]

---Maybe these little bits will help, but you probably already have this info, with #6 being incorrect. So, I would guess H is Deluxe trim (???)

-From my Mitchell Manuals:
1234 = Model Code
5 = Engine type
6 = Cab or Body type
Remaining = Chassis SN

---For my old 1978 Scout II with Deluxe trim packages, you show:

VIN Format: 1975-1980 International Light Truck

Decoding: H0062HGDxxxxx

Digit	Usage	VIN	Decoded
1	Model Year	H	1978
2	Not Used	0	(Always Zero)
3-4	Model	06	Scout II (not pickup or Traveler)
5	Engine	2	gas (Scout) 304/345 V8, etc.
6	Year	H	1978
7	Plant	G	Fort Wayne, Indiana
8	Line	D	Scout
9-13	Sequential Serial #	xxxxx	xxxxx

For my 1973.5 Scout II (1974) you show:

VIN Format: 1973-1974 International Light Truck

Decoding: 3S8S8CGDxxxxx

Digit	Usage	VIN	Decoded
1	Model Year	3	1973
2	Drive	S	4WD (Scout)
3	Size	8	Scout II
4	Series	S	Scout II (non-pickup models)
5	Engine	8	V8 gas (scout)
6	Year	C	1973
7	Plant	G	Fort Wayne, Indiana (Scout)
8	Line	D	Scout
9-13	Sequential Serial #	xxxxx	xxxxxx

---All looks good, but a VIN check with SSS or LLP and purchase of a Line Set Ticket will show a lot more. I need to replace mine for the 78, it's about... unreadable. Nice keepsake if anything.

Well I got my LST...this thing is pretty spot on.

Not to resurrect year-old threads here... but I have moved the VIN decoder to www.VINwiz.com

Thanks for the updated location, it'll make directing people to the new site easier.

Thanks again for the work on this.

Worked for my 429 Torino but it will not decipher any of my Chrysler product VINs.

[RichW]

It should decode most 1962-1980 Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouth cars and Dodge pickup trucks. Anything before 1962 might have some problems or not work at all. The to-do list is never ending...

Thanks for the decode site!! We have an old Loadstar here that we needed some info for and this helped a little. Good work!!

Hi guys i'm looking for some help decoding FC5 282. I've looked this number up on some of the sites, as of yet I'm not having any luck. Can anyone help!

Thanks for your time

[Will Marsh]

There is no "decoding" that VIN, the only thing it tells you is that it was the 4,782 Scout built. (The first was FC00501, IIRC)

If you want to know how it was originally equipped, order a Lineset Ticket for it from the Wisconsin Historical Society or one of the Lightline vendors. Details in the Knowledge Base at the top of the forums.

HTH,

Will Marsh
