One thing says f600 and another say f617 were just trying to find out the year. The truck is a farm truck that has been around forever and nobody can find a title or anything on the truck. We need the year because the brake booster went out and can't find one.

Someone who knows how to decode the vin will come along. Sorry about the joking around - the idea was to bump your post up to the top so guys will see it.

I remember. I was in on it. The owner posted a pic of the VIN tag and it said F610 under the word Model. Someone here was saying there's no such thing as a model F610 and I couldn't let go of the fact that the tag said it was a "Model F610."

Maybe I can explain it to ya Q. It would be a "model" F610 but it's a "Series" F600. In my 1964 through 1972 slide Ford shows a Model F610 as being a F600 4x2, Gas engine, 21000# gvw. And "That's A Fact..Jack".
