First post. Little help please
1FT = World Mfr. Identifier = Ford Motor Company USA Truck (Complete Vehicle)
E = Brakes/GVWR = standard brakes, 6,001 - 7,000 lbs.
F14 = Series Code = F150 Truck -- 4WD
Y =Engine Code = 4.9L / 300 cid gasoline-powered 6-banger
6 = Check Digit (ignore)
G = Model year = 1986
K = Assembly Plant Code = Kansas City
B45018 = Production Sequence Number
WB = 117" Wheelbase
TYPE-GVW = F141 = 117" WB Pickup 6,100 lbs. GVWR F150 4WD
BODY L84 =
................L8 = F150/350 Blue cloth & vinyl, bench seat
.................4 = Regular cab w/styleside pickup box
TRANS = A = New Process 435 4-speed manual
AXLE = 18 = 3.00:1, 3,800 lb. capacity Ford non-locking (Axle Code 18 is 3.08:1 beginning in 1987)

I don't bother anymore trying to look up Spring Codes (for you, Front = C, Rear = L) as there isn't any useful information to be gotten from them, at least not from the parts book.
