Just bought this F600 from the original owner. 73k miles and needs a few things but runs like a top even after sitting for the last 5 years and 50 psi oil pressure.
It even had the original Ford Truck Owners Identification card in it. Appreciate any extra info you can come up with beyond what I have gleaned from all the other great posts.
F60 = F600 (gas).
A = 330 2V Medium Duty FT engine.
K = Kansas City MO Assembly Plant.
696387 = 1965, assembled June 1965.
1?4" Wheelbase.
J = Rangoon Red.
F602 = F600 (gas), 20000 lbs. GVWR
M81: M = Light Beige Crush Vinyl & Medium Beige Ladder Pattern Woven Plastic / 81 = 81A Standard Cab.
W = Clark model 2621-V1 or 2622-V1 5 Speed Direct.
F7C:
F7 = Eaton model 13802 Two Speed Rear Axle / 5.83/8.11 / 15,000 lbs. Rear Axle Capacity.
C = Ford-Rockwell/Timken 6,000 lbs. Capacity Front Axle.
20,000 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.
160 net HP @ 3,800 RPM
74 = Seattle WA Ford District Sales Office, where the original selling dealer ordered the truck from.
Do not believe the miles shown on the odometer, as it reads to 99999.9 then returns to ZERO!

Thanks for the great info. We know the owners and have the service records available on it and it hasn't rolled over yet. Was an orchard truck that ran 2 to 3 weeks a year then became a yard truck for a while at the warehouse. There it made runs of less than 3 blocks now and then. Just got to be too small for the operations and they run 40' flatbeds nowadays for about everything. They parked it because the brakes were intermittent. Supposedly work great first push of the pedal then brute force after that until she runs a ways. Sounds like a leak somewhere in the braking system vacuum so will throw a few parts at that to help it out. Got it started real quick today but couldn't drive it because tweakers stole the generator and voltage regulator. Gonna throw a GM alternator on it then roll it home on its road test.

Two different types of power brakes on these trucks. The parts do not interchange.
The master cylinder bolts to the power brake booster on the firewall.
The master cylinder bolts to the firewall, the booster is a Hydro-Vac, located below the master on the frame rail.

It has the master cyl with the booster under the drivers seat on the frame. One of the hoses looks a bit questionable. A line hooked to the booster that has ridges and what looks like an outer layer and inner layer of shielding. After we get her home which is about a quarter mile will track down what is causing the brake loss. Or maybe before then do some brake work. The E Brake has been on for 5ish years so it might take a bit to break it loose. Or we could get lucky.
Okay no problem thank you very very much again I really appreciate all your help. I still have one more F700 but I don’t have the vin handy at the moment I’ll see if I can get it tomorrow. Again thank you for your help!

Reason: Finger slipped and I pushed submit on accident
I just went and looked at the other VIN for the other F700. Now I don’t know if this is the original door or not. The truck has 3 different paint schemes going on. Where else could I find a vin on it? None of my trucks came with existing registrations or anything so that doesn’t help and the kids I got them from were clueless on them so here’s the vin:
Passenger side frame rail on top about even with the alternator, possibly further back and even under the passenger footwell under the cab. Wire brush, mirrors etc.

F70 = F700 (gas) // D = 330 2V Heavy Duty FT engine // V = Kentucky Truck Assembly Plant // J22921 = 1970.
thank you, this is very helpful. Sorry about the small picture, I did have the option to make it bigger but chose that one. They must have repurposed this truck, it now has a Clark transmission with a Muncie pto and an Eaton 2 speed rear axle
