Not much in the VIN:

F60 = F600 gas 4x2

D = 330 2V HD or XD FT gas V8

C = Ontario Truck Plant. This would point to it being a '67.

B32661 = Numerical sequence. That number works for 1967 or 1976, The District code on the warranty plate, along with other info, would point to it being a Canadian market truck. According to the MPC sample I have, all US trucks were assembled in Kentucky after 9/69.

Welcome to FTE!

If you post a full picture of that tag we might be able to get more info like axles and transmission.

F60 = F600 gas 2WD

D = 330 2V XD FT gas V8. ("XD" in place the previous "HD")

V = Kentucky Truck Plant

BC0824 = 1978 series number

146 = 146 inch wheelbase

No color code. No code if the paint part of a special order

F602 = F600 gas 4x2 19,200lbs GVWR

GA8 = I don't have the full info for upholstery etc, but this looks to be a Custom Cab

19200 = 19,200lbs GVWR

Check your wheels, lots of these still had widowmakers.

Decode help

Hello
could i get help with a decode? Looks like door was replaced and a loose tag seems more accurate. Should be 80 l9000 with Cummins.
my understanding is the warranty tag is the same as a vin tag, correct? There is no tag in window. Trying to get title in NV so i can sell it. Never been registered so not sure how that will work.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry not sure how all this computer stuff works I am old school , got a message you replied to me... I was in the same boat not knowing anything about my F600 I just picked up. I had another person reply to me and I was grateful he told me about my truck. I would be unable to help you out or tell you anything about your big truck. The person that did respond to me told me to try a web site think it was like vincode.com or something like that and that help me out a lot, as well telling me what year my truck is. Maybe look up my old posting if you know how and that site told me other things about my truck as well so maybe it can help you out also. As far as registering it in NV.... I have done that with other autos over the years but in Wisconsin not NV. As long as it is legit and you have about $350.00 jump through the hoops it can be done but getting tuffer every year, it seems our DOT does not want these older autos on the road . Guessing ten years ago I even went to our state capital to testify in a hearing being our DOT would no longer give anyone titles for military auto (I got into the WWII Jeeps) so if you bought a WWII auto you could not get a title, we fought it and won that battle. So many laws suck and God I have stories about corrupt judges and attorneys I have delt with that should be in jail its scary, but there are many good laws and police officers (not all) out there as well. We have just way to many E.I. in the world (Educated Idiots) that use the system for themselves

The VIN is stamped on the frame. On other trucks, including mediums and pickups, it has been found about even with the front axle on the passenger side, on top of the top rai. A wire brush and some careful looking may expose it. That is what the truck should be titled to, and if it matches that door tag all the better.

The series number you have decodes to 1979. This info is from the '73 to '79 Master Parts Catalog. If it is in fact a 1980, then the plate must be from something else. All the more reason to find that VIN on the frame

U90 = LT900 diesel with tandem axles. Do you have tandems?

L = Cummins NTC350 Look for a tag or label on the engine to see if it matches

V = Kentucky Truck Plant

EK0194 = 1979 Series number. The last number for 1979 is FK9999.

186 = 186 inch wheelbase. Check this vs. the truck

J = Rangoon Red. That's easy to check

U900 = LT900 diesel, 43,000lbs GVWR. Your tag is stamped 57x00 GVWR, possibly because of the special order axles.

HH8 = Custom Cab without butterfly hood. I do not have upholstery or seat info. Again, another easy check

No transmission code, probably part of the special order

No rear axle code, again probably part of the special order

9 = Not shown for MY '79. Prior years this was a 15,000lb capacity front axle

57x00 = 57,x00lbs GVWR (I can't read the 3rd number)

171864
17 = Washington DC district code
1864 = special order number. The tag does not have transmission or rear axle codes--those were part of the special order.

The engine should have a tag on it with identifying info, as should the transmission. Rear axles usually have numbers stamped into the carrier case and on the driver side axle tube.

Let me know if this hits or misses.

Good luck!

F700, no papers, need specs from VIN.

Need the specs on this old rig. Bought it for fire control, former owner pretty hazy except for buying it off a logging company. Really hoping you guys can help


Old and much modified, but still runs.

VIN plate

Welcome to FTE!

F70 = F700 gas

E = 361 4V XD FT gas V8. (Starting in '76 the 361 got the 4V, and added the"XD" designation.)

V = Kentucky Truck Plant

Z14988 = 1977 series number

212 = 212 inch wheelbase

CX = Two color codes sometimes means a two tone. C = Special White, X = Tan. I don't see Tan in the picture. Another mystery.

F704 = F700 gas, 24,000lbs GVWR

428 = Standard cab. I do not have upholstery or seat info.

2 = Clark model 282V five speed direct transmission

E34
E3 = Eaton model 16244 two speed rear axle, 17,500lbs capacity, 6.50/9/04 ratios
4 = Ford front axle, 7,000lbs capacity, without power steering

24000 = 24,000lbs GVWR

87 = Body company. Sold to whoever put the tank and related equipment on it. (Possibly--could have been sold to another body company, and subsequently turned into a tanker. Any tank company placards on it?)

Thank you.

Thanks for the quick response! Knowing the year of this thing, plus the other specs, makes it a heck of a lot easier getting parts etc. Apparently it was also a firetruck at one time, which explains the body
code, and the PTO setup as well. It hasn't seen pavement for probably 20 years.

Going out to have a look at it reminded us of the old CW McCall song, "Classifieds", especially when the owner was telling us about it.

I would guess it is a '79. All the info you have is spot on. Most running gear was SO for the drilling equipment that rides on it.

looked for the number on the frame but didn't see anything of value. Did see on another post to look on the top but havnt got a chance.

Thank you again and greatly appreciate the info!
