Here's the problem, some 1976 serial numbers (last 6 digits of the VIN) are the same as 1967, so some people might think it's 1976 F600...but it cannot be.

1970 and later 500 and larger series trucks were assembled at the Kentucky Truck Assembly Plant, so a 1976 would not have been assembled in NJ

Thanks. The truck was apparently a Wv state road truck. It has a napco front axle, 4wheel drive, spicer transfercase. The title that came with it is bad. My fault for not checking. Who ever stuck their head in the engine bay didnt know the actual model or year and tried to wire up ignition controls that didnt belong.

I tried to delete this thread after I posted on your Large truck info but couldn't figure out how. Thanks again.

F600 cobbed together

So I have been trying to put my F600 back together. I rebuilt the the carburetor 2150. And in doing so found that the engine is not original. The truck is a 1967 F600. The engine is something else D4TE cast on the block. It has and EGR valve but, must have only been used as a spacer as there is no port for the exhaust to be pulled in. What kind of gasket setup should be use to put this back together. It ran before I pulled it apart so I know it does run. The gasket kit came with two thin gaskets and a thick flange/base gasket. Is there any way to figure out what engine year this is by looking at what parts are left? I will submit some photos of the engine when figure out how to resize them.

The pictures above don't tell us about the engine. The EGR item appears to be a 1974 revision, and the carb tag shows a 1978 revision.

This is the same truck as your prior decode etc, right?

IMO we should combine your posts in Large Truck so people can understand the whole picture and we can run this down. This forum is for '73 to '78, where--apparently--your carb and spacer came from, but since you are in a '67 F600 with "cobbed' up parts, Large Truck is the better answer.

Since your truck originally came with a 330 MD engine, it is possible this was swapped for a FE 360 engine at some point. There are ways to tell.

Do you have more pictures of the engine? Intake and exhaust manifolds will tell the tale as to FE or FT.

I'll check back.

Yes this is the same truck from the decode. How would I go about combining this post with the other? Thanks I will be adding pics from the engine soon.

The casting numbers on the block and heads will help figure out what you have. Here is the location of the numbers on the block:

Head numbers are in the center of the heads next to the two center plugs.

Here is some pics of the motor. I will check for the head numbers when I get back out.

OK D4TE is a 1974 revision for a Truck related part. The FT engines were still in production and in the medium trucks in '74--up until 1978. So this could have been a used engine or a reman--hard to tell.

The intake and exhaust manifold shots show as FT parts. The intake has the cross over ports beside the carb. FE engines offset the crossovers. The exhaust manifolds have the two extra center bolts that correspond with the exhaust manifold outlet going to the exhaust crossovers.

It is possible this engine was installed as a "carb to pan" engine, which would explain the '74 and '78 revisions seen in post 6.

Just for grins--can you post a picture of the outside of the truck with the doors showing....

The intent of this truck was to haul gravel and general farm work. Then found that it would never be legal to drive on the road. Someone had slapped a wv inspection sticker on it. This thing would never have passed. The more I dug into the truck the more I found wrong. When they put in the new/used engine they messed up the wiring. It look like they tried to integrate an amplifier module (at least I think thats what it is). If the truck didnt start you had to giggle the wires under the dash. Found some melted, splice/twisted wires under there. I figure since I don't plan on driving this on the road no need to have all the accessories. I doubt I will restore it either, too much work. I still on the hunt for an actual Dump truck version within in my price range. I have seen a few, just been bad timing on cash flow. But this guy can still work on the farm.
Napco 4x4 divorced transfer case 2 speed rear end. Still need to look into those items. Engine first. no engine no truck. Thanks for your responses, its been nice talking about this truck its been sitting on the back burner for a bit. I hoping to get it moving again before winter.

You mentioned the title was wrong--does it show the same VIN as above?

Your decode shows a single speed rear axle, yet you say it has a 2 speed?

Does the 4WD work?

Anyway a truck can be handy on a farm, handier if it's roadworthy sometimes.

Could this be a cab swap?

The Title was for a 74 F700 F70EVT69485, The F60CEA is stamped on the frame by the passenger side motor. I was told the truck was a state road truck at one time. One of the front axle shafts is out. I was told for better gas mileage. Not sure if the front axle works. The transfer case is a Spicer case. It seemed to only have two modes when I tried it neutral and engaged. I haven't looked into it yet. The napco axle might be the most trouble. There is little information on Napco let alone one thats bigger than what you put in the 250's and 350's. I hope to have the carb installed by the end of this week. Hopefully, I can adjust it properly. I think I may just change it over to a manual choke. There seems to be a bit of play in the choke plate so the auto/electric choke may not work well enough. I think I am just trying to see how useful the truck will be before investing a bunch of money in it. Like replacing the carb or rebuilding/replacing the motor.
