Welcome,
do you mean C600? or CF6000?

C600 was gas C6000 was diesel up to 1990

the C series were built up until 1990, oldest one I ever saw was a 1961. so you have a wide range of parts to chose from .

give some details about your truck and you will probably get more input.

Ya I put a picture of the vin tag in the C truck thread looking for a Numbers Dummy to look at it. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/9...owners-17.html. Thanks for the reply. BTW They made them for 33 years 1957 to 1990 I think.

I PDI'd one of the last 3 Cseries that came into Canada. it was a c8000 Shell oil truck 3208 cat with a 5spd manual Knuckle buster. always remember it because I went over the tracks a little too fast on my road test and smashed my head into the headliner, basically a whiplash.
these damn trucks were made for short people. I remember all the main parts had "C1 " at the beginning of all the part numbers.

now you need to post some pics of the complete truck not just the VIN tag

OP posted the VIN in the LARGE TRUCK forum. It's a 1968 C6000 Tilt Cab. C6000 is a C600 w/a diesel engine.

Well I know very little about it. had a bill of sale when I picked it up. they are sending the title soon I hope. And I know the doors have the 6000 on them maybe they were changed? But it for sure has a GAS motor in it. I know it might have been changed but if I am thinking right the dash part of cab was different with the diesel. Hell I don't know?

I just decoded the VIN and Warranty Plate in your thread in the Large Truck forum. It decodes to a C600 with a Cat 8 cylinder diesel (C6000), but see "Note" below below the decode..
