I looked at a 79 LRE yesterday. A friend said that there are quite a few clones out there and to be careful. I know that the sales code for LRE is YH6, but that won't show up on the vin or data tag. The vin # is D13JS9S212---. D100 Conventional cab w/ utiline box 6-8.5 k GVW 360/4V 1979 Warren Truck #1 1/2 ton.
I know all the LRE came with the 360/4V. I also have a few pics of the tag that is riveted onto the radiator core support by battery but haven't been able to cipher any of that yet. Anything else I can look for to verify if it's real or a clone?

Pretty sure the S in the 5th location calls out 360-4 hp. Yes you looked at a lil red. I have an equipment ID from an original 78 Lil Red Vin D13BS8J514260 The yahoo group can be helpful along wth lilred dads site. May want to check the frame rail for the vin as well as some have been changed. I do not believe there is any significance to the aluminum tag on the fire wall. Lil red dad Red

Yeap Lil Red, Vin Should be on the frame as said above but don't be surprised if it's off by 3 to 4 sequence #s My 8700 mile family owned truck Vin last 3 are 152 and frame is 149, of the 5 parts trucks 3 are on and 2 are way the F-off.
Fun truck to have.

Truth has no agenda, but those with an agenda make their own truth. Some of us are so open minded they only see their View

Thanks for the replies. We came to an agreement on the price and I dragged it home tonight.

Was it in Maine? And did it have a aftermarket sunroof in it
