1981 Ford F600 Super Duty

• Engine Options: Typically equipped with gasoline engines, the F600 also offered the 6.9L diesel V8 from International Harvester, providing increased torque and fuel efficiency.
• Transmission and Drivetrain: Equipped with a manual transmission, options varied from a four-speed to a five-speed configuration, with four-wheel drive being an optional feature rather than standard.
• Design and Features: As part of the seventh-generation F-Series redesign initiated in 1980, the 1981 model showcases a more traditional look with straighter body lines aimed at enhancing aerodynamics.
• Identification: The vehicle’s VIN is notably shorter than the current 17-digit standard, and additional features may include heavy-duty suspension or transmission coolers, reflecting its commercial orientation.

This combination of features makes the 1981 F600 a workhorse well-suited for various demanding tasks.
