At least the US built versions.
The majority of trucks stopped using the engine in 1960, though the 1961-62 W300, D400, D500 and a few other larger trucks used them as well. 1962 was the last year the FH6 was used in the 61-71 style trucks. The WM300 used the 251ci engine until 1968 for US production, though as far as I can tell the export models of the WM300 continued to use the FH6 until 1970. After 1970 I do not know of any regular production vehicles that used the FH6, but they may have still been made for industrial applications.
I wonder if that is true though, as I have found some later Industrial Engine books that do not list the FH6, and why would Dodge modify the WM300 to use the 225 /6 if the 251 FH6 was still being made?
