I am looking for code information. I understand some of what is written but not all. Here is what the plate says.
#f60z5617266
GVW 16,000 understood
172 WB understood
122 HP understood
5d1r or 5dlr tran - I know it is a 5 with 2 speed is all
6:33 -8:11 rear end I assume it has a 6:33 and 8:11 two speed gear ratio in the rear
color R red?
15adss5321x

I hope this will tell me what Cu In motor it has also.

attached is a photo. The inside is just as nice. 7600 miles.
Thanks
Dave

 

I don't know about your codes, sorry.
but seeing your user name made me think of this add I saw yesterday, ksl.com - Classifieds for Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming

oh the picture didn't work, is the pictures hosted on photobucket or some other online image server? if so try pasting the link again. I want to see it.

Trying the photos again. Sorry.









looks like I saw what I did wrong if this works

 

I miss read the vin it is F60Z5G17266 The G I read as a 6.

 

It Decodes like this:

F60 = F600 (Conventional)
Z = 256 - 8 cylinder engine
5 = 1955
G = Chicago Assembly plant
17266 = the truck serial number (they began with 10001)

 

Thanks Anybody know what the 15adss5321x means.

Is there any data base that would track owners? All records from the fire truck company were lost. Sold out in 76 and the new idiot owners didn't want to move all those heavy "worthless junk" records I am guessing.

 

If the truck was operated by a certain city or county agency, they may have records of it, or their insurance company may have records.

Is the 15adss5321x in the "production code" part of the rating plate or someplace else? Those long production codes sometimes reflect a date, but more often than not when they are long like that they reflect a contract or purchase order number.

That's a very nice looking truck btw!

 

Thanks again. Those numbers are in the production code space. Unfortunately the history is not going to be easy to track down. Volunteer departments change people over time and no one knows where used trucks were purchased from. That's part of the joy in owning "old Junk" as some call it. It drives and runs as nice as it looks.
