There is a lot of valuable info on this sight! I would like some help with my VIN as well.F60D8410929 WB 156, color G, Model 602, Body 81B, GVW 19,500, HP 153, RPM 3600, DSO 34
I believe it is a 63, I see it is a F600. Not sure if it's a 292 or a 330. I'm trying to find ignition timing specs, but not sure which engine I have.
Any and all help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Hoke

There's no such thing as a VIN series code (1st 3 digits) of F77.F = 391 4V FT engine.
V = Kentucky Truck Assembly Plant.
A62393 = 1976 (1976 serial number range: A10,001-D25,000).

If you post a pic of the Warranty Plate (riveted to the left door face below the latch), I'll decode that too.
The TYPE/GVW aka MODEL code stamped on the Warranty Plate defines what the truck is.
