In Reply to: I did a "VIN decode", came up low on data list. nm posted by chriscase@san diego on Wednesday, May 28, 2008 at 22:08:47 :
Your truck is either serial number 83926895 or 88767295? This is what I come up with by adding your 394 build number to the starting serial numbers for 1952.
Unless Phil corrects me, the way I understand it is that the build number from the decoder is simply the sequence number of that truck for that year. For instance, the first truck built for 1952 from Detroit was 83926501, so this truck would have been build number "1". The next truck built would have been 83926502, or build number "2". This assumes that no serial numbers were skipped. From the decoder, your truck would have been the 394th one built that year in that factory.
The build number can not be decoded to a list of factory options, or anything else for that matter.
