1970 F600 decode

Hi everyone, new to the forum and need some help. I need a new axle wheel seal on my F600 XL Rollback carrier. Trying to ID the rear differential. Can anybody help decode the VIN tag or send a link to a decoder. I would appreciate it.

A picture of the rear end would be more helpful. The axle code only tells what the original ratio was.

Welcome to FTE. This is the forum for your size truck.

F61 = F600 gas, 4x2

C = 330 2V MD FT gas V8 (Medium Duty = FE cast crank with smaller snout, FE oil pump and drive, possibly other FE items like water pump)

E = Mahwah Assembly Plant

G32141 = 1970 numerical series, August 1970 production

156 = 156 inch wheelbase

T = Red

F610 = F600 gas, 4x2, 21,000 lbs GVWR

4B8
4B = Black Leather Grain H.D. Vinyl
8 = Standard cab, cab and chassis vehicle

A = New Process model 435 four speed transmission

F2C
F2 = Eaton model 15201 two speed rear axle, 15,000 lbs capacity, 5.83 / 8.12 ratios
C = Ford 6,000 lb capacity front axle

21000 = 21,000 lbs GVWR

164 3800 = 164 Certfied Net HP @ 3800 RPM

11 = Boston District Sales Office
No special order--probably bought off the lot.

The Eaton axle will have a drop out center section. There will be ratio and other numbers stamped into it above the pinion. Does the two speed work? They do require 10w oil, and there is plenty of info on line about care and feeding.

As to driving with the two speed:

Beware widow maker wheels and note there are no new brake drums available.

Try NAPA. You have to change vehicle type to "medium/heavy" to check on line. Put your truck info in and see what comes up.

There's a ton of Eaton stuff and seal cross reference etc. Quite a slog to find what you want.....

Wheel Seals

Hey, thanks. So far ones I have ordered from NAPA that were "guaranteed to fit" do not. To small. The OD on the one I removed is 5 5/16 (fits in the HUB just behind the bearing) the other are 4 1/2. 0 for 3 so far. They are the right axle diameter (ID) but they do not fit the HUB. Looking at other vendors to see if I can find the correct one.

If there are any numbers/letters etc on the old ones, there are cross reference tables galore on line.
