F600 VIN Code needed please!

I'm looking at a F600 flatbed to possibly purchase but I can't seem to figure out the info on the drivers door.


VIN: F60CKH30883
174 T F600 4 8 A F3
19500 164 3800 561089


It needs a brake booster that mounts under the drivers running board. It looks like the brake booster that I replaced several years ago on a 1973 International Loadstar.


Just trying to get my ducks in a row before I pull the trigger so I don't end up with scrap pile material like the 73 Loadstar ended up as.


Any information will be greatly appreciated.


Thanks, hugger94

Well, Admiral Stroker has had plenty of time and still ain't chimed in yet, I'll see if I can help you out until he does.

I have a 1973 Truck manual with decoding information for (surprise) the 1973 model year. Unfortunately, in a few places it's not quite clear on the information. Regardless, I can usually get folks close within a few years either side of 1973.

F60CKH30883
F60 = F600.
C= 330 2V Med. Duty V8, gas.
K = Kansas City assembly plant.
H30883 = Approx. 1970 calendar year production.

More:
174 = wheel base, in inches.
T = Red exterior color.
F600 = F600, gas.
48 = ? (might be 4B?, black vinyl interior?).
A = New Process 435 4-speed.
F3 = Eaton Model 15201 (15,000 Lb. Cap.) 2-speed, 6.33/8.81 ratios.
19,500 = GVWR, Lbs.
164 H.P. @ 3800 RPM.
561089 = Kansas City District Sales Office, where the truck order originated.

Hope this helps, keep in mind any of the above information is subject to verication/correction. Hope this isn't too late to be helpful. I like to be helpful, because that's the kind of guy I am. Others just have major ego problems.
