F600UW01032 / W.B. 194 / COLOR: N / MODEL: F602 / BODY: 4B8 / TRANS: A / AXLE: F2K / MAX GVWR LBS: 19200
Welcome to FTE

F60 = F600 2WD (gas).

0 = No such VIN engine code as 0 or O / Could be a C = 330 2V M/D FT engine or D = 330 2V H/D FT engine.

U = Louisville KY Assembly Plant.

W01032 = 1975.

194" Wheelbase.

N = Exterior color N not listed until 1978.

F602 = F600 2WD (gas), 19,200 lbs. GVWR

4B8: 4B = Heavy Duty Black Vinyl / 8 = 81A Standard Cab.

A = New Process 435 4 Speed Manual Transmission.

F2K: F2 = Eaton model 15201 Two Speed Rear Axle / 5.83/8.12 / 15,000 lbs. Rear Axle Capacity // K = Ford 5,500 lbs. Capacity Front Axle with P/S.

19,200 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.

Hey ND,
Do you know if that “//K” code for the 5,500 front axle was used for the F600/F700 thru 1986?
That would really help my search....
thanks,
Robert S

That looks to be a Truck Specifications List (TSL).

F60EVA21285

F60 = F600
E =
* if 1967: 361 2v
* if 1976: 361 2V XD OR 391 4V XD
V = Kentucky plant
A21285 indicates build month Aug1966 (1967 model year) OR Aug1975 (1976 model year) (ref.)

Maybe it's a reprinted TSL sheet? 1981+ should have a 17-character VIN, if it was sold in the US/Canada.

[later]
Well, it resembles a TSL. I looked at the TSL for '67-90 and with minor variations they all look like this:


Hopefully, someone with more knowledge will come along and educate us.

Kentucky Truck Plant opened in '69 so it has to be a '76.

The form is marked as being printed Nov '83, and the print date is Dec '83. Hmmm.
