Welcome to FTE! I moved you here as this is the place for an F600.
F60 = F600 gas, 4x2
E = 361 2V FT gas V8
V = Kentucky Truck Plant
L01313 = 1971 numerical series, February 1971 production
132 = 132 inch wheelbase
V = Dark Green
F602 = F600 gas, 4x2, 20,000 lbs GVWR
4 8
4 = Black Vinyl
8 = Standard Cab, Cab and Chassis vehicle
A = New Process model 435 four speed transmission
F3 = Eaton model 15201 two speed rear axle, 15,000 lbs capacity, 6.33 / 8.81 ratios
No front axle code. From '64 to '69 only optional axles were identified. Starting in '70, all front axles were supposed to be identified. Looks like someone was resisting the change or forgot. Since this isn't a special order truck, it's an error. Your axle is probably a Ford with at least 5,000 lbs capacity. It should have numbers etc on it. Try the back passenger side.
20000 = 20,000 lbs GVWR
182 3800 = 182 Certified Net HP @ 3800 RPM
57 = Houston District Sales Office

I got the truck in a trade with a person they was saying it was a 64 f600 but I felt like that was wrong plus they didn’t have the title so I’m working on getting one just trying to figure stuff out first I really appreciate it.
