Find your data plate--on the driver door below the latch, possibly the glove box, possibly the door jamb--not sure of the location for your vehicle.

From that, post the codes, especially the axle codes. The axle code gives the clue to the brakes.
Just got this 65 c600 can anyone give me any more info and decode this for me?

Welcome to FTE!

A full decode deserves it's own thread so I've made you one.

C60 = C600 gas

M = 330 2V HD FT gas V8

U = Louisville Assembly Plant

686660 = 1965 numerical series, May 1965 production

099 = 99 inch wheelbase

- = Should be color code, possibly a typo

C600 = C600 gas, 20,000 lbs GVWR

191A = 1 = Light Gray Crush Vinyl & Light Gray Block Weave Vinyl / 91A Standard Cab

A = New Process model 435 four speed transmission

62 = Rockwell(Timken) model F-106 single speed rear axle, 6.20 ratio, 15,000 lbs capacity

No front axle code. In '64-'69 only optional axles were listed. Thus, you have a Ford standard axle, probably 5,000 lbs capacity without power steering

20000 = 20,000 lbs GVWR

160 3800 = 160 certified net HP @ 3800 RPM

33 = Detroit District Sales Office. No special order number so the truck was probably "bought off the lot" from dealer inventory.

Much thanks!

Hey thanks so much for the decode! Helped alot! Only problem I'm having now is trying to find a brake master cylinder for it. All the ones on Napa md/hd for '65 do not look like what is on the truck.

A recent post from a fellow C series owner. Lots of stuff remained the same throughout the C series production. Brake and clutch masters--maybe, as they are the goofy vertical units. Links and illustrations, you'll have to read through it:

Off topic but here's the clutch for your era:
