Planning to buy a truck? Know its history first. The VIN tells the build year and where it was made. It also shows the trim level and original parts.

Mismatches can mean engine swaps. This suggests the truck is not original. You can also use the VIN for DMV history searches. Records go back to when it was made.

To use our International VIN search, find your truck's VIN. It is printed in a few places.

• Look at the dashboard through the windshield.
• Open the driver's door. Check the metal sticker on the door sill. It's near a barcode. Also check the rear driver's side door.
• Look on the floor near the front passenger seat. It might be on a plate near the door sill. Or under a carpet flap.
• On older rear-engine trucks, check the front storage. Look on the passenger side near the fuel tank. Or on the tank itself.

The VIN is on registration and insurance papers. Our license plate lookup can also find the VIN.

Each VIN character has meaning. International has its own way to code it.

The first number shows where it was made. 1 is the USA. 2 is Canada. Canadian trucks were made by Chatham Ford in Ontario.

The second letter is the maker. H was for International Harvester. That company no longer exists.

The third and fourth characters show the vehicle type. They also show its weight rating. For example, FC was for the International Scout. FW was for DCO-405 trucks.

The fifth, sixth, and seventh characters are for the vehicle type. They also show the body style.

The eighth character tells about the engine. International used many engine sizes and types.

The ninth character is for security. It confirms the VIN is real. It comes from a math formula.

The tenth character shows the model year.

The eleventh digit shows where the truck was built. G is Fort Wayne, Indiana. H is Springfield, Illinois. C is Chatham, Ontario. Y is San Leandro, California. L is Bridgeport, Connecticut.

The last six characters are the production serial number. Each truck has a unique number. This shows the build date.

The VIN is 17 digits. It tells your International truck's history. It has details like accidents, engine, and build year. Always check the VIN before buying.
