1967
B = 300 ci Six, 1V (or Cummins 588 ci Six, V6E-195, which seems unlikely)
U = Louisville plant

A picture of the warranty plate is a lot more helpful than the bare VIN.

Welcome to FTE!

C60BUB16825

C60 = C600 gas (Diesels use a different series number--D60 or D61 for C series in this era)

B = 300 1V six cylinder gas engine

U = Louisville Assembly Plant

B16825 = 1967 numerical series, April 1967 production

153 = 153 inch wheelbase

No color code. This is a special order truck and color could be part of that.

C600 = C600 gas, 20,000 lbs GVWR

691: This combination is not shown in the shop manual. "91" is the catalog number for tilt cabs. Could be a typo for the warranty plate, could be incomplete info in the shop manual.

A = New Process model 435 four speed transmission

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

No front axle code. From '64 - '69 only optional axles were listed. You probably have a Ford 5,000 lb axle without power steering. There are numbers on the axle which will id it if need be.

20000 = 20,000 lbs GVWR

150 3600 = 150 certified net HP @ 3600 RPM

614394
61 = Dallas District Sales Office
4394 = Special Order Number

Beware widowmaker wheels.....

You guys are the best. Thanks so much. I was lost, the seller had no idea either, it was left on property they bought. Seller had someone tell them it was a 1961.
