I have two questions before I decode this jazz.

1) Are you sure the VIN begins with 1FT? Usually it begins with 1FD on 600 and larger series trucks.

2) There is no DSO code that begins with 0 (zero) or the letter O

NumberDummy, no luck with the LTL vin? Do the axle and tranny codes cross over to anything?

Since a KT Cummins is to big to fit under the C cab it pretty much has to be a 3208 Cat.

Sorry, I cannot decode anything after 1989. You'll have to visit a dealer or ask Green Sales Company in Cincinnati OH for assistance (800-543-4959).

Green Sales has the largest stock of FoMoCo NOS obsolete parts on the planet.

I don't know if this is the place to ask but I will try
Talking about a 1992F 600 v.i.n.1FTFX28LOVKD32239
I am not a mechanic I am an industrial machinist and my knowledge of cars and trucks is amateurish.
My boss decided to buy a 1992 F600 for us (meaning me) to work on during week ends when we are not working.
Most of the complete rebuild is done after 3 years but there are parts I can't find.
Can you guys help me.
I need a replacement rubber floor mat , it is an automatic transmission truck.
also need replacement parts for the turn signal switch and hazard button is broke off and horn is missing parts in other words steering column guts.
Also the rubber pcs. that the hood closes against are all worn out ( forward flip hood)
left and right hood reflectors.
The screw in the light trim ring ( manual calls it a head light door) is striped and I need to find the little plastic insert that it screws into.
Thanks for any help.

All the interior parts you can get from LMC TRUCK. 1989-1992

The exterior parts you might be able to get some from RANEYS TRUCK PARTS
or check craigslist and local wrecker yards.

Was Truck built before or after AUG 1992? This determines body style. EXP 1989.5 to 1992.5. 1992.5 to 1997.5

Also look @ part numbers on OEM parts tells you what year

EXP. "D9TA-0000AB"

D= decade 1970
9= year of decade 1979
TA = vehicle type "truck accessory"
0000 = part number
AB = engineer revision (after part number)


This works for most FORD produced parts cars trucks and commercial


A 1940
B 1950
C 1960
D 1970
E 1980
F 1990
G 2000
and so on
