Help needed to decode F600 warranty plate
I found a Ford 600 with 86,572 original miles that I can pick up for $0.00 Can anyone help decode the info on the warranty placard? I've searched everywhere I could find with no luck, every place I found shows the warranty numbers starting with a "F" and the other descriptions for trans, axle etc don't match, any help is appreciated ��
It reads N60DVU88278

I have a 1973 Shop manual, with all the codes for the 1973 model year.
I can get you PART of the way on a decode.....................
N60DVU88278
N60 = N600
D= 330-2V, HD V8, Gas
V = Kentucky Truck Plant
U88278 = Calendar year month of production and sequential serial number
(very likely 1974 or 1975).
More:
W.B. (wheelbase) = 202"
Model N604 = ?
Body 118 = ?
Trans A = New Process 435 4-speed.
Axle F2L: F2 = Eaton Model 15201 (15,000 Lb.) 2-speed, 5.83/8.12 Ratios.
L = 6,000 Lb. power steering.
GVWR = Fairly Obvious.
D.S.O. 482401: District Sales Office that originally ordered the truck.
48 = Detroit, 2401 = sequential order number, most likely.
Hopefully this will get you by for now. Keep in mind, any or all of this is subject to verification and/or correction (and I'm sure it will be ).

Sorry I can't post a picture yet the truck is still 120 miles away in Amarillo.
The main thing i was needing is the fact that it says N61. The 1 is the part i was wondering about. Also I wanted to share the fact that its a 1978 N600 series. I thought NumberDummy might like that.

N60 vs. N61--this question came up recently with respect to some F600 "model" numbers as seen in a parts page ND posted. The poster insisted he had what must be a "rare" F610. The explanation given is that the "F61" designation, vs. "F60" had to do with GVWR. I suspect it's the same with your truck.

1978 LN600
N61 = LN600 (gas).
D = 330 2V H/D FT Engine.
V = Kentucky Truck Assembly Plant.
CC7679 = 1978.
The TYPE/GVW aka MODEL code stamped on the Warranty Plate (thru 1979) defines the GVWR
