What year is the van supposed to be? According to Dodge, the vin on that plate isn't valid.......

Edit: Ok..... it's incredibly old. Gonna have fun with that one, may need to call dodge customer service, and see if they can do anything for you.

This looked like an old-time VIN to me. Vinwiz.com says:

VIN Format: 1970-1980 Mopar truck

Decoding: B12AN9X161822

Code:

Digit Usage                 VIN     Decoded
1-2   Model Code            B1      B-100 1/2-ton
3     Body                  2       Wagon
4     Gross Vehicle Weight  A       6,000 lbs or less
5     Engine                N       Unknown!
6     Year                  9       1979
7     Plant                 X       Missouri Truck
8-13  Sequential Serial #   161822  161822

Serial numbers are sequential per plant

[edit: formatting lost; tried to fix]
