I want to make sure I got a handle and understand as much as possible.

Just picked up a 87 F250, my first mechanical project.

51 exterior paint color = red?
WB L33 wheel base? Or 133?
Type GVW F251
Body BG4
Trans A
Axle 27
Spring C6
Sparkplug A5F-42C
Gap .042 - .046
5.0L - 7HM

HFM5.0T5HAGX.A1P/EGR/EGS/TWC/F1

E7 (or T?)AE-9C485-CFR

Any help would be great, or point me in the direction where I can find info?

I'm really green at this, I know F250s come with a V8, and that it's a 5.0L, but besides that, I couldn't say much more about the engine. I technically don't see "V8" anywhere in the information from the stickers.

Thanks again.

 

Anybody?

This seems like fairly basic information...

 

The engine code the VIN.

 

Alright, I was able to use VIN Decoder - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums

Now I'm certain about the engine, v8, 5l, 302 ci.

What about the other stuff?

Definitely keen on learning about:

Trans A
Axle 27
Spring C6

 

51 exterior paint color = Medium Dark Fire Red.
Type GVW F251 = F250 (4X2) GVWR (lb.) 6600 Weelbase 133 (in.).
Body BG4 = Fabric Vinyl, Trim color Smoke, Styleside Pickup.
Axle 27 = Capacity 5300 (lbs.), Ratio 3.73
Spring C6 = Front E0TA-5310-CC, Rear E4TA-5560-EA

 

Thanks a lot @ subford!
