I'd like to collect representitive images for the model years covered currently, and have that function installed and working.
For example, you type in 21RSA00000, not only will it tell you your truck is a 1948 2 Ton COE with a 158" Wheel Base, made in Janesville, WI in January of that year, but to the left of the data (on top of where it currently says "The VIN Cruncher") it will display a pic of a '48 COE.
That way you can get an idea of what the truck should have looked like stock, and also helpful to determine if the grill on your '55 is the one that outta be on there!
I know alot of the hard core, been doing it for years 'bolters know that sort of stuff by heart.. but I was thinking of folks like myself.. who are new to the 'bolts, and could benefit from the photo to go along with their "VIN".
Adding that feature would be a piece o' cake.. just as soon as I get the images!
If anyone has pics they'd like to submit for this purpose, please eMail them to:
[email protected]Please include your name, and description of the vehicle as it would appear when running the VIN/Seriel number in the VIN Cruncher.
Your name will appear with the image, i.e.:
"Photo curtesy of Joe Blow"
Hot rodded and/or chopped trucks will not be accepted.. not that I don't appreciate the long hours and hard work you put into your babies.. just that the image should be representitive of the truck as stock.. so noobies don't type in the VIN for a '54 1/2 ton and get an image of a truck with a chopped top and a blower hanging out of the hood.
-------------NOW THATS OUT OF THE WAY---------
I'd like to thank everyone who has contributed ideas, comments, suggestions, and helped with the testing. I'd also like to send out a big thank you for the folks who compiled the original data, as well as the folks who corrected my goofups when entering that data!
To all those folks, and to the folks who answer my hairbrained questions when working on my own two bolts.. the donation of the completed VIN Cruncher to the Stovebolt Page is my way of saying thanks to everybody for making such a cool place to hang out and talk trucks.. I hope you folks will find it as useful as your help as been to me!
