If you look in the LMC Ford truck parts catalogue, in the front of the catalgue it has the decoding.

LMC's VIN decode charts are CRAP .. have a gazillion errors and omissions!

You want the VIN & Warranty Plate (no such thing as a VIN tag) decoded? Post the info here.

Warranty Plate located on the left door face below the latch.

1948/80 trucks: VIN has 11 digits / 1981 thru today: VIN has 17 digits.

I started a new forum i think for my fathers f600 in hopes you would see it and i could get some information. Seems you are extremely knowledgable and id love to see your breakdown of the truck we have. Im sure you can find the forum i started or if you would rather contact me directly my name is "Chris Bumbalough" on facebook from Sparta, Tn. Thanks and hopefully ill hear from you soon. Looking forward to it.

May I recommend this resource for your F600 if it is a 73-79. It is totally searchable and you can dowdload it to your computer or e-reader and have it right there for easy access. I have it for the F100-F500 and I am absolutely impressed with the resource. I don't how I survived in the restoration game as long as I did without it. It takes a little to get acquainted with using it but is well worth the $ ..
