Welcome to FTE!
F60 = F600 gas, 4x2
C = 330 2V MD FT gas V8 (Medium Duty has 352/360 cast crank, FE oil drive and distributor drive, possibly FE water pump or other items.)
K = Kansas City Assembly Plant
782067 = 1966 numerical series, November 1965 production
174 = 174 inch wheelbase
J = Red
F602 = F600 gas, 4x2, 20,000 lbs GVWR
481
4 = Biege Vinyl
81 = Cab and chassis vehicle
A = New Process model 435 four speed transmission
F7C
F7 = Eaton model 13802 two speed rear axle, 15,000 lbs capacity, 5.83 / 8.11 ratios
C = Ford-Rockwell (Timken) front axle, 6,000 lbs capacity
20000 = 20,000 lbs GVWR
164 3800 = 164 Certified Net HP @ 3800 RPM
53 = Kansas City District Sales Office
No special order
Check your wheels. Widowmakers were still in circulation in '66, and may be hub piloted to boot.

Noooooo . . .
GVRW is 20,000. The truck itself's weight has to be subtracted from that; I use a generic 9,000-ish for a std stakeside or grain bed, so around 5.5T left.
If you've got a real dump bed (not just a plain hoist & grain bed), or a water tank or whatever, your numbers will be different. But nowhere near 2T.

"1/2", 2,5, whatever-- those "ratings" are leftovers from a bygone era. F600s from that era can have a gvwr of 17,000 to 24,000 depending on model.
