Being the scrapyard, we get all sorts of good stuff that I get to save! This puppy comes in from the local seed place next week sometimes, and I may buy it since my next project was going to be a cab over something or another!
Saved or parted out, first thing to know is it is a C600, not an F600. Engines interchange, rear axles would, but many parts are not interchangeable between F and C series.
I think someone put some F600 badges on her! I didn't take a peak underneath yet but will soon, that PTO may end up going in my 58. If I don't drive this sucker around and fall in love, I will do my best to save her from the crusher, looked too good to go away!

The emblem with the yellow reflector was introduced in 1968. 1968/72 F100/1000's & B500/700's have them mounted on the hood sides. 1968/86 C series Tilt Cabs are mounted on the doors.
There is no specific 500 and larger series emblem. Emblem with FORD 600 on it could apply to B600 (School Bus), C600 or F600.
Notice the black bellows on the far left side of the floor pan, this is operates the windshield washers.
It could be electric (touch it once with your foot) or the manually operated type that requires several pumps of your foot to get it to spray.
Thats pretty awesome, thank you much! We had two different emergencies this week so we haven't pulled her in yet, we will hopefully this coming week where I shall take many photos!!
I always liked those in fire trucks. I have never driven one that old, though. I heard the stick shift linkage was trouble. In fire trucks they were all automatics. What do you plan to do with it?
My plan was to pull the walls off so she's a flatbed and possibly diesel swap (I'm a fan of those). It looks though like the boss would love it gone sooner rather than later so trying to find a buyer now since I'd really hate to see it scrapped!
