Hi guys, need help decoding this VIN and ID plate.
I'm not even sure what year it is.

Welcome to FTE!

Looks to be a 1967

C61 = C600 gas

D = 330 2V HD FT gas V8 (steel large snout crank and all other FT features)

U = Louisville Truck Plant

B58052 = 1967 series number. (this number also shows 1976, but your assembly plant (all were Kentucky, code V after 9/69) and model number (no C610 in '76) point to 1967)

153 = 153 inch wheelbase

No color code, note the truck is a special order

C610 = C600 gas, 21,000lbs GVWR

691 = I do not have the info for upholstery and seat type, this might indicate custom cab.

A = New Process model 435 four speed transmission

64M
64 = Rockwell-Timken model F-106 Rear Axle / 6.80-1 / 15,000 lb. Rear Axle Capacity (I'm a little uncertain on this)
M = Standard axle with HD brakes

21000 = 21,000lbs GVWR

164 3800 = 164 certified net HP @ 3800 RPM

170746
17 = Washington District Code (Wash DC)
0746 = Special order number

If something doesn't match up, let me know and I'll recheck.

F60 = F600 gas 4x2

J = 240 1V six cylinder gas

N = Norfolk assembly plant

708283 = 1965 series number

174 = 174 inch wheelbase

F600 = F600 17,000lbs GVWR (conflicts with the 19,000 shown on the plate. Note this is a special order truck, that may have something to do with it. No F600 model shows 19,000 even GVWR in the MPC copy I have)

481 = Beige vinyl, conventional cab

N = New Process model 435 four speed transmission. This code is also used for Dana (Spicer) model 5652 five speed direct transmission, and the Truck shop manual copy points to this for code N.

64 = Timken model F-106 single speed rear axle, 15,000lbs capacity, 6.80 ratio
No front axle code--from '64 to '69 only optional axles were listed. The standard axle would probably be a Ford 5,000lb capacity without power steering

19000 = 19,000lbs GVWR

129 4000 = 129 certified HP @ 4000 RPM

830203
83 = Government
0203 = Special Order Number

Government--explains the 240 engine and single speed axle.
