I'm confident that the first C in the VIN signifies 330 MD (not 330 HD) but you can send a PM to NumberDummy for confirmation.

F60 = F600 2WD
C = 370 2V or 429 4V .. both introduced in 1979. It's not a 330 2V M/D as FT engines were cancelled after 1978.
Y =
In-correct, as there's no Y Assembly Plant code. It's probably
V = Kentucky Truck Assembly Plant.
EC0160 = 1979.

How can I tell the difference from a 370 and a 429?
