Wondering if these ones are the same but painted yellow? /vehicle.php?id=570754 /vehicle.php?id=657127 /vehicle.php?id=785758 The arm and platform both still being white lend some support to this hypothesis. The company that rents it out calls it a F-650 which seems to be a mis-ID as I can't find reference to a F-650 being available in 1980 (though I am not an expert on American trucks) so they could all be this F-600. -- Last edit: 2016-02-26 17:50:44 |

@ Sandie: All detail match, so it must be the same truck: first as white model, at the time of this episode, and then repainted in yellow. And the inner part of the A-pillar of the truck rented by CVS appears to still be white... About the model name, Wikipedia says: And I never saw a brochure about the 1980-98 medium-duty F-Series showing any reference to an F-650 model. But if CVS is wrong about the name, the "range" given to this truck could also be an error. What would make it an F-600 over an F-700 or an F-800? -- Last edit: 2016-03-02 22:04:02 |

F-600 comes from the plate check quoted in the first post (the truck wears a genuine plate in thumbnail rather than the fake one at the main) rather than an assumption from CVS's F-650 description. My thinking was that (assuming there was no mistake in the registry) as we 'knew' this one was an F-600 if it was confirmed to be an earlier appearance of the mis-ided "F-650" belonging to CVS we could apply that ID across the three other appearances (I changed them from F-650 back to F-Series when I realised CVS's description was dubious. |

Carfax apparently don't give (anymore?) a result for CA 1X52208? But I won't try with the other 49 states |

It's on the Smog test database: http://www.bar.ca.gov/pubwebquery/vehicle/pubtstqry.aspx (I guess Carfax doesn't list plates that have been inactive that long, this presumably is no longer on the road due to being used mostly for film work?). |

Thanks for reminding me that webtool, Sandie. I never think about it... |
