Thanks for the decode.

Thanks much for the decode info!
I bought it from a ranch in Phoenix and it has surface rust on frame only so it might have spent its life in Arizona. Now I can have fun getting it right and keeping it close to stock as possible.

68 N600 vin decode help please

Hello I'm new to the forum I just bought a 1968 N600, and really could use some help decoding the vin # N600CUC99526. I was told it was a grain truck from a seed farm. The body is in amazing shape for a 68 and i fell in love with the body lines. I plan on using the truck to tow a car trailer any help with the decode would be greatly appreciated. I need to know what I'm working on lol Thank You bc1biker

You might check with NumberDummy for your decode. I believe he is the decode expert on FTE and was a big help on my 65 decode.
