    Canadian trucks prior to '67 had unique serial numbers, 6 digits, dash, 8 digits (or 9), US had 11 digits. This, according to my 61 Canadian shop manual. From '67, both shared a common number sequence.
    The first group is sequential # and gvw, second group is make, model, series, wheelbase, year, drive. Mine are missing the year, so I think that was no longer used.

    Heck yeah I missed a digit! It’s a 1966 F600, F60CC872736. Door tag has Canada on it also.

    Production moved to the new "Ontario truck" plant mid-year, my '66 has the earlier type of data plate. I don't have a manual for my '67, but the plate was updated and uses a serial number sequence that follows the U.S. style.
    Anyway, F60 is F600, C is the engine, C is the Ontario plant, the rest is the sequence.
    I also have this '62 F700, 30" frame extension and a 16' grain box. Cool highway truck, but a little clumsy in town. DSCF2269             62 F 700.jpg

    They re-used the codes, I don't have that for '66, but my '67 uses C for 352.
    Edit, oops, Y is 352, misread my own picture, 289 was C.

    F60 = F600 (gas) // C = 330 2V Medium Duty FT engine // C = Oakville Ontario Canada Truck Assembly Plant // Cannot decode the last 5 digits because it's supposed to be 6 digits.

    This decodes to the month/year the truck was assembled.

    I can decode the entire Warranty Plate...riveted to the left door face below the latch.

    Type all the info, or post a pic of the puppy.
