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. Running 370 2V.. what 5 speed and axle are these? Also, anyone know how much fuel the twin step-tanks hold?
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.

Pretty sure there was no gauge but I was trying to look at the most critical areas first before I bother the owner to lug it out of a rut this weekend. Gave him the go ahead today so I can look deeper and drive it some. Maybe that’s the ‘standard’ hydraulic brake setup for these trucks? Doing lots of learning. From what I understand it’s the hydroboost motor running. Found some good info on these systems and the ‘scary’ Lucas Girling setup... it’s not nearly as bad as they’re all trying to tell me. Info here if anyone is in need: https://www.heavyequipmentforums.com...t.11472/page-5
Starting to think I’ll own a dump truck soon.. can’t give anyone a good reason why; I just like it.
