F600 1972 cabover?
Hi Guys,
So I seem to be doing a bad job trying to research on a truck I just bought its supposed to be a 1972 F600 cabover with a 361 engine with a 5 speed trany with a split differential and a rated GVR on the rear dullies of 21300lbs and can find no information am I mis defining something, when the internet can tell me nothing its either really rare (A Ford farm truck?) someone has to know, more about this beast? the Vin is C61EVP77724 can someone also translate that?
Thanks for any help.

Hi Guys,
Well progress it seems this is actually a C600 ? at least they look like my beast. Oh and its 15' 7 " from the cab to the end of the frame. It had a grain bin on the back the seller moved to something else.

Welcome to FTE.
The side light plates ---see post 7 & 8. The VIN starting with C61 says it's a C600. The fact that it is a cab over suggests it is a C600.
Check the drivers door for a warranty/data plate. See if the VIN on it matches your title. If so, post a picture of it or copy all the info here and we may be able to get it all decoded. The engine code is in the VIN but all the other stuff is on that plate.

Look at the emblems again.
Emblems on the doors of 1968 and later C600's with the yellow reflector are not marked FORD F600 .. they are marked FORD 600
Pic: Column left, 4th row: C/CT series Tilt Cab (COE).
Some people confuse C Series Trucks with F Series Trucks because they use similar 500/600/700 etc. emblems with a yellow reflector, but only the C Series has them on the doors.
1968/72 F100/750's have them on the sides of the hood.

You are quite correct (rats) any thoughts on the Vin and missing data plate? or other vin markings on engine or chasey? is there some usable database out there on these?
Also any idea how many were built?
Thanks for any help,

Marti can provide production figures, a copy of the original build sheet, a new Warranty Plate with all the correct codes and new rivets and a Safety Standard Certification Label for 1970/79's.
This Safety Standard label has the production date, VIN and misc. GVW codes printed on it.
