F600 vin decoding help please
Hello there. I just picked up an F600 snub nose as a project truck. I'm planning to mount the body on a new chassis/driveline combo. I would really appreciate any help decoding the VIN and the warranty plate info.
Thanks!
N61DUB00673 is the VIN
Wb: 163
Color: 6
Model: N615
Body: M81
Trans: L
Axle: G3D
Max GVW: 24 000
The next part of the warranty plate has some damage, can't read what these codes designate; ?64 and then 3800
And then finally DSO: B66970
Any and all help is very much appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks very much for the response, I appreciate the info. I called it an F600 simply because that's the badging on the fenders. It's an old gravel truck that's been sitting in the back 40 of a farm for a fair while, so no registration or paperwork with model info came with it. Thanks again for the help!

Hidden frame VIN stamped atop the right frame rail partially under or ahead of the cab.
May be found below the alternator in the engine compartment.
