OK, lets scrutinize. I have listed 40's vin ranges from Legend numbers. Examples beyond Legend? Legend exagerates? (no examples near limit).Therefore EVERY piece of info on pages 199 and later has to come under scrutiny.
40W1000 to 40W3771 (G,W series)
40EL1000 to 40EL5068
40U1000 to 40U4619
41W1000 to 41W16288 (G,W, W45, WLA, WLC)
41EL1000 to 41EL6148 (E,F series)
41U1000 to 41U5144
42W1000 to 42W24995 (all 45", use belly #'s to verify)
42EL1000 to 42EL2742 (E,F series)
42U1000 to 42U2803
43W1000 to 43W28498 (all 45", use belly #'s to verify)
43EL1000 to 43EL1202 (E,F series)
43U1000 to 43U2807
44W1000 to 44W18000 (all 45", use belly #'s to verify)
44EL1000 to 44EL1534 (E,F series)
44U1000 to 44U2151
45W1000 to 45W10759 (all 45", use belly #'s to verify)
45EL1000 to 45EL1829 (E,F series)
45U1000 to 45U2284
46W1000 to 46W6953 (G,W series)
46EL1000 to 46EL7745 (E,F series)
46U1000 to 46U4521
47W1000 to 47W6534 (G,W series)
47EL1000 to 47EL12647 (E,F series)
47U1000 to 47U3931
48W1000 to 48W3283 (G,W series)
48EL1000 to 48EL13743 (E,F series)
48U1000 to 48U3376
48S1000 to 48S11116
49W1000 to 49W4884 (G,W series)
49EL1000 to 49EL13684 (E,F series)
49S1000 to 49S8290
It’s also interesting to note that my 37, 47, 49 and 51 examples are all less than 30 numbers higher than Legend calculations. But the 42 BT Flathead is higher than Legend by hundreds. I think all we can do with Legend is continue to advise people that its figures are not to be taken as totally accurate.
