1963 F600 Decode Help

Hello, first time poster. My brother and I just recently purchased a 1963 F600 dump truck for the large amount of $500. She is a little rough on the outside, but it runs good and has a good hoist and bed still. We were trying to find out how to decode the vin number, but so far I have yet to find a website that gets me what I want. I was hoping someone here could help. The vin in F60BK344455. Thanks again.

Welcome to FTE

F60 = F600.

B = 262 1V I-6.

K = Kansas City MO Assembly Plant.

344455 = 1963, assembled October 1962.

VIN doesn't contain the TRANS, AXLE and etc codes.

Look either on the left door face below the latch, or on the inside of the glovebox door for the Warranty Plate.

Post all the codes from it.
