600 is a generic model description. A CH613 has 2 drive axles and 1 steer axle (6 X 2 chassis), a CH612 has 1 drive axle and 1 steer axle (4 X 2 chassis). The same rules apply to most newer models.

I don't mean to say the chassis is generic, a CH600 is just a general description of the chassis series.

The first number in the model indicates frame type. 600 is a highway frame, 700 is vocational/construction frame, 400 is light duty frame.

The second number indicates engine manufacturer. 1 is Mack, 2 is Renault, 3 is Cummins, 4 is Detroit, 5 is Caterpillar

The third number indicates the total number of axles.

I think they started using this model system sometime in the 1980's and continue to use it in a slightly modified form today. This method of model identification only covers some chassis. The R, RB, RD, RM, DM, U, MB, MC, MR use a different method of ID where the first number identifies the chassis series and the second and third identify the engine.
