data plate decode

I searched this site and found nothing. Is there a site that tells what these codes translate to?

Hi Jdm, Welcome to The Site.

First off you could have just posted the info along with your post and it probably would have been answered by now.

The alternative is look for one of Mil1ion's posts and find the link to his web site at the bottom of his reply.

Scroll to the bottom of the main page and click INDEX ,then you will see the de-coder page listed.

Have fun.

Thumbs up data plate decode

First, thanks for all the help!
wheel base=133
color= QM
type= F105
body= C4
trans= G/ automatic
axle= 02J


Is the emissions any different for a 1976 360 vs a 1975?

Also does anyone have a vacuum line diagram for my truck?
I have looked in the Haynes manual and there is none.
We just finished straightening out the wiring that someone halfway rigged **#$*. All lights now work properly.
Thanks
JOhn

Im gonna say that Mil1ion has a scan in of the info that you are searching for, so as soon as he see's this, I hope he posts the link to it - but I dont know it off the top of my head.

I'll give you my help with the info anyways though

Wheel base is 133" which is about 11'

Color Code, I used to have the sheet with all of this info on it, but I seem to have lost it - it also has the trim level information.

F-105 is your model code and G.V.W., which is a 4x2 F-100 with G.V.W. of 5,100

Body code is basically your trim and body options, which I dont have with me at the moment, and dont remember off-hand, so..

Transmission code G - if I remember correct, this is a C6 - Because I think that my 78 Bronco reads G, and it had a C6 stock.

Axle 02J - This is your axle code, for a Ford 9" I believe with a 3.00 ratio.

Hope this helps. Its really late, so my info may not be correct, hopefully Mil1ion will come on here and post the link, Im pretty sure he has this information on his site.

-Daniel

JDM1975 opens a new thread every time he answers or posts. Email is blocked so I have no way to correct this situation. I have merged his threads several times now.

ADMIN- If you have a way to contact him please do.

First, thanks for all the help!

wheel base=133"
color= QM = Two-tone = White
type= F105 = Pickup code
body= C = Vinyl seats 4 = Color upholstery =
trans= G/ automatic = C6
axle= 02 = 3.00 3300lb Ford
J = power steering

Well, It's your choice about the color with the white.

Maroon Poly 2-Q (1975)

Pastel Blue 3-Q (1975)

Dark Brown Poly 5-Q (1975)

Thanks again

Connectors, thats easy all black. I will take pics on thurs as I will be working all day and night tomorrow. There is a few other odd things too, like the can mounted next to where the jack goes over drivers side fender in engine compt. Its about the size of two large tuna cans together and appears to go to the wipers?
Will have pics thurs thanks.

I had one too.

That's a vacuum reservoir for when you touch the brakes which allows the vacuum level to stay within tolerance.

Do you have cruise?

No cruise. That canister hooks to some very small hollow tubes that are mounted inside the grilled vents just infont of the windshield. There is no brake booster that I can see. There is also a spade type connector coming from the coil that is hot but goes nowhere.
Where do I send the pics?
