Please help decoding my vin. 1970 Ford C610
1970 ford low tilt C610. I need help decoding this vin please. C61DVH50680. Any other info would be great. I really need engine size. My truck keeps overheating when I haul grain. I know I need a new thermostat for sure.
No such thing as a C610. If you look closely at the first 3 digits of the VIN, it's C61 .. D = the 4th digit of the VIN is the engine code.
Plus, you asked this question in the wrong forum, this forum is for 1973/79, your C600 is a 1970. Please ask further questions in the LARGE TRUCK forum.
