    Just wondering if my mav was a grabber or not. When I traded my suzuki samuria for it the kid said it was a grabber. The previouse owner took the grabber hood of and replaced it with a standard hood to install a shacker unit from a mustang ( I wish they kept the hood) I want to know if it is a grabber or did he blow smoke up my @$$? here is the vin f2k93f150120f
    tell me what all these numbers mean, thanks

    the 93 in the vin signifies it is a true Grabber. Congratulations.:thumbs2:

    how can you tell if it a factory V8 car or if it is a transplated engine in a 6 cylinder car?

    I will post pictures as soon as I figure out how. Last time I tried to post the site said that it was too big or too much information/picels or something like that.

    Fifth digit in the Vin will be a F for a 302, L for a 250, and a T for a 200. Not sure what the 170 code is.
