I just bought a 1965 C600. Ex FD tank truck. No tank. Cab chassis. It has 19xxx on it. Runs good. Needs odds and ends of parts like weatherstripping, misc switches, etc. Where can I find parts for this? I'd like cab corners but can probably easily fix these. It is the only rust on the truck. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

 

Welcome to FTE

Please type another post in this thread, ask for the parts. This post is cluttered enough as it is.

Do not believe the miles shown on the odometer, as it reads to 99999.9 then returns to ZERO!

C61 = C600 (gas).

M = 330 2V H/D FT Engine.

U = Louisville KY Assembly Plant.

732162 = 1965.. assembled August 1965.

2nd line of Warranty Plate codes stamped "catty-wampus." TRANS code stamped below BODY, AXLE code stamped below TRANS.

Could have been stamped on a Monday or Friday, the 'usual' 2 UAW problematic assembly line days.

153" Wheelbase.

9 = Not listed for 1965; 1966 or 1967. IMO: Another mistake by a 'hung over' or distracted UAW assembly line worker, as J = Rangoon Red.

C612 = C600 (gas) .. 22,000 lbs. GVWR

A91: A = Light Gray Crush Vinyl & Gray Twill Stripe Woven Plastic / 91 = 91B Custom Cab.

L = Clark model 2651-V1 or 2653-V1 5 Speed Direct.

-(blank)D: Blank = Rear Axle was a Domestic Special Order / D = Ford Rockwell-Timken 7,000 lbs. Capacity Front Axle (Regular Production Order option).

22,000 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.

160 net HP @ 3,800 RPM

131368:

13 = NYC NY Ford District Sales Office, where the original selling dealer ordered the truck from.

1368 = Domestic Special Order number, truck ordered special by the original purchaser, not "bought off the lot."

The rear axle is a Domestic Special Order, but there's no way to discover what it is, or what else might be a DSO, as FoMoCo THREW AWAY all the records decades ago.
