Hello, I'm new to this forum and new to big trucks and was wondering if someone could decode the following VIN for the 1965 F600 I bought today (or point me to a VIN Decoder or book that I could use). Thanks, Mark

75 = Phoenix AZ Ford District Sales Office, where the original selling dealer ordered the truck from.

 

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.

 

Start a thread about it and post up some pic's. We would love to see it

 

Thanks Article Y Block. I'll start another thread and post some photos.

 

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.

 

Thanks i wasn't sure how this worked,first time on a forum lol . I started a thread for my vin thanks again bc1biker
