i recently purchased a 67 ford f-600 flat bed dumper, i am preping for inspection but i have no back up lights, i dont have any wires for back up lights. i have not been able to locate the back up light switch on the trany either ?
this is a 300 six with a 4 speed and a single speed rear. any ideas ware this switch might be hiding ?
also i question if it is 67 or maybe 66. my vin F60BFA84916
can someone verify the year using this vin ?

 

It possibly did not come with back up lights. Make that, probably did not come with BU lights.

 

is it posible to verify if it came with bu lights from the vin #

 

No. It is not. As I recall, the backup lamp switch was mounted on the tranny's top turrent. Close to where the shift lever comes out of the tranny. Unbolt the floor's plate right above the tranny. I believe you will see the swich there. IF THERE IS ONE.

 

Welcome to FTE

Backup Lamp Switch (15520) threads into shift tower. But it's not listed for F500/750 until 1969.

 

Thank you very much for that info it makes me wonder if it had bu lights originally ? can you tell me what i have with vin #
F60BFA84916

 

It's exactly what you said it is, but you typed the wrong assembly plant code of F .. as there's no such code.

F60 = F600.

B = 300 1V I-6.

F =

A84916 = 1967, assembled February 1967.

Here are the codes that pertain to 1964/72:

 

Not sure if they all came with backup lights. The f600 guage cluster I put in my truck had a manual switch (red, illuminated, like the cargo light switches) that had a back up light bezel on it. So it had to be manually pulled rather than a switch in the trans operating it.

 

I have a 68 f600 and my backup lights are wired in on a switch on the dash and you manually click it out and then when your completed backing up you push it back in. My transmission doesnt have the switch and I have a new process 4 speed. It is a black wite with a red tracer that runs back to the combo brake/turn light.

 

'Back-Up Lights' bezel does not apply to 1967.
