Welcome to FTE! Large Truck is where the F600s live.
F60 = F600 gas, 4x2
B = 300 1V, probably HD version.
E = Mahwah Assembly Plant.
A72829 = 1967 numerical series, January 1967 production.
132 = 132 inch wheelbase
7 = Dark Blue (might have been dark at one time.....)
F600 = F600 gas, 4x2, 19,500 lbs GVWR
481 = "Might be" Medium beige vinyl, standard cab. I don't have the full info for interior.
A = New Process model 435 four speed transmission
62 = Rockwell mode. F-106 single speed rear axel, 15,000 lbs capacity, 6.20 ratio
19500 = 19,500 lbs GVWR
150 3600 = 150 certified net HP @ 3600 RPM
17 = Washington District Sales Office.
No special order, this was "bought off the lot".
If the original warranty plate is still on the driver door, that can be decoded as well.
Beware widowmaker wheels......

Added the data plate. Got it home safely. Needed my loader to assist in getting it to roll downhill off the trailer.

Your pictures clearly show widowmakers front and rear.
That front one, as long as it's on the truck, will only blow inwards (IF it blows)
The rear outside dual will bust you up if it blows, as that half of the wheel will blow outwards.

Ok. I thought the widowmakers had that circlip style lock ring on the outside of the wheel.

Nope. The locking ring wheels are safe if handled correctly.
The widowmaker "snap" together like Tupperware. Except the seal on Tupperware is better.
