1986 Ford B600

• Chassis Design: It has a cowled chassis, designed for secondary bodywork, with a narrower hoodline and separate fenders reminiscent of the L-Series “Louisville” trucks.
• Engine Options: Available engines typically included the 370 cu in (6.1 L) Ford 385/Lima V8 for gasoline applications, along with diesel options like the Caterpillar 3208 V8 and Detroit Diesel 8.2L V8.
• Usage: Primarily designed for school bus applications, the B600 often requires bodywork from specialized manufacturers.
• Features: Distinctive design elements include a tilt-forward hood and the Ford Blue Oval emblem on the grille, which marked a design change from the previous “FORD” lettering.

This robust chassis reflects Ford’s commitment to providing reliable and efficient solutions for bus transportation.
