We've still got this 1983 F-600 hangin' around at my workplace up here in Minneapolis, figured it would be worthwhile to get a decode on it, see what all it has.
​​​​Y'know, in the event they decide to part with it.
Has less than 75,000 miles on it.
VIN is 1FDNF60H4DVA06112, with the full tag posted below with a photo of the truck in question.

 

1FD = Ford Motor Company USA, incomplete vehicle

N = Class 6--19,501-26,000 lbs GVWR, hydraulic brakes

F60 = F600 4x2, gas

H = 370 2V, or 4V, or 2V Low Compression

4 = Ford check digit, ignore

D = 1983 model year

V = Kentucky Truck Plant

A06112 = serial number

153 = 153 inch wheelbase

9F = white

F603 = F600 bas, 19,700 lbs GVWR

FB8
I do not have upholstery info for this model year. "8" would indicate cab and chassis vehicle, as indicted above.

AA = Allison AT-545 automatic transmission

65K
65 = Rockwell (Timken) model F106 single speed rear axle, 15,000 lbs capacity. Ratio shows 6.83 for F600 but only '80 & '81. 7.17 for F700-900. There will be a label on the axle with the actual ratio.
K = Ford 5,500 lb capacity front axle with power steering.

587333
58 = Twin Cities District Sales Office
7333 = Special Order Number


A 370 with an automatic will be pretty slow and probably horsepower limited to a 50-60 MPH top speed depending on what kind of body is on it.
