2008 Brochure says that the model 38P only comes in the Workhorse chassis with 8.1L engine. IN 2009, the 6.8L V10 was available. This machine is an 08, with the V10. But that's not the only thing....
Inside behind the seat is the Ford chassis cert sticker with chassis VIN (24,000lb chassis). Directly below that label, is a Federal Certification Tag which says VEH MFD BY - Workhorse Chassis W24 8.1L Engine. There are TWO VINS...one for each chassis. I carproofed the Ford VIN and it shows up with no history. I carproofed the workhorse VIN, and shows nothing at all..can't be found. However, if I simply "google" the workhorse VIN, it "exists", with just general information.
The Fleetwood sticker on the side definetly / clear states its an 08 model year, but WHY are there 2 Chassis VINs.
Very confused.....
Something is very strange alright. Now, the vin number is on the title and corresponds with the house year and even though your chassis may be a year or two older. Still the vin no. will usually get you the right parts and feel that it does reflect the chassis year, no matter what year the coach is. This thing with Chevy/Ford though, sounds like someone new at the factory and not having any idea of what label belongs on what.
