I hear you are the wizard with decoding VIN's. Can you lend a hand on the F600 I recently picked up? F61EVY41769. Thanks in advance for any help!

These posts were unanswered in the old decode thread.

Our regular decode member has taken up other interests. (But may be back from time to time.....)

https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...ruck-info.html

There are still members here who decode from time to time.

Rather than close these off, I wanted to leave these open in case one of other folks could help.

I believe this means:

K90: L900 (Diesel). L9000 is an L900 w/a diesel engine.

T: Detroit Diesel 8V92TA

V: Kentucky Plant

C18432: 1976

Correct?
It is now...

IF the last 6 digits of the VIN are C70167, this is a 1967, not a 1968. Warranty Plate is filthy, very hard to read.
