Running my RV VIN number shows the wrong type of vehicle, it will show Ford F-550 while it is in fact F-53, I went to few auto parts stores and they had hard time finding the right parts
My curiosity got the best of me. I've not heard of VIN numbers bringing up patently wrong vehicle information. While I'm not saying I'm absolutely, positively correct, I suspect that your Hurricane is built on an F-550 stripped chassis. I went poking around the Internet looking for information about F-550 stripped chassis, but found little. The stripped chassis that are currently offered at Ford are the F-53, F-59, E-450 and E-550.
There are some very small Class As being built these days that ride on a stripped E-450/550. No reason that a number of years ago your coach was not built on a stripped F-550. Also, since your coach was built there has been quite a bit of vehicle model and purpose readjustment at Ford due to the introduction of the Transit van and the Econoline being relegated to motor home and utility service.
What parts have parts stores gotten wrong when doing a VIN search?
