Johnny93 Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Can someone help decode this VIN # ? 1M3U223K0BS001409 Every parts place I’ve talked to said this VIN doesn’t exist in their database. It’s making it really hard to find parts for it. I would appreciate any information I can get, thanks in advance!

0 tjc transport Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 according to my VIN decoder, that is not a valid VIN. you sure you got all the numbers and letters correct?

0 Mackpro Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 I had a buddy look up all Mack/Volvo Vins and serial numbers ending. In 001409. There were 211 . Only about 60-80% had actual 17 digit Vin numbers. The rest only offered a model number such as DM611S, BM811SX , MR685s , etc . Some of these were build dates in the 1960’s Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69529-vin-decode/#findComment-495197 Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Johnny93 Posted April 13, 2022 Author Share Posted April 13, 2022 (edited) Yeah it’s the correct vin, vin on the truck matches the vin on the title. It’s a 1981 RW700L from what I’ve come up with, it’s a super liner truck with aluminum frame and top loader Rockwell axles and a Eaton 13speed. I believe it was built as a glider kit truck in the United States but I don’t have any real proof to back that up.

0 tjc transport Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 That very well could it. If I remember correctly glider kit VIN is state produced not manufacturer produced and does not show up in VIN decoders. 1 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

0 Johnny93 Posted April 13, 2022 Author Share Posted April 13, 2022 Well that would explain it, I believe the truck was built in California and I live in Oklahoma Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69529-vin-decode/#findComment-495204 Share on other sites More sharing options...
