VIN/Code Check
Looking at an 85’ F600 today.. 1FDNF60H8FVA68888
As with every classic Ford door sticker the information doesn’t exactly line up in nice columns.. so other than a 370 2V what 5 speed and axle are these?
GVWR 24,500
WB TYPE GVW BODY TRANS AXLE
177 F60C GA8 CD U8M
Now I’m going to research the buzzing electric brake booster that stays on as long as battery power was connected.

Hey,
You may have better luck posting here: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum232/
There are a few posts for F600 decodes.
NumberDummy will likely be around in this forum to help though.

On the buzzing, does the truck have a vacuum gauge and light on the dash?
The F600 dump I drove back early 80's had the gauge & light & buzzer. When vacuum dropped below a set point, don't remember what the was but let's say 5 hg, the light & buzzer would come on telling the driver vacuum to the brake system was low and could lose vacuum assistance.
You would have to build the vacuum back up to get the light & buzzer off.
