On my 1981 F-150 Ranger XLT on the door post sticker under the Trans is a 1, can anyone tell me what the code is for the transmission?

 

There is no such code as a 1 for a transmission.

Best to just post a picture of the label.... upload the picture onto Photobucket or some such (or maybe even an Album here on FTE) and use the IMG code (aka BB Code) to have the picture show up in a post.

 

OK, here are your pictures, I should be able to get to the decoding stuff later this afternoon/tonight.








BTW that thing looks pretty good. It's obviously been repainted.

BTW2 - Since we already know you have an automatic overdrive transmission, that TRANS code is therefore a T but part of it's been partially obscured somehow.

Look at the 1 characters elsewhere on that sticker, they don't look the same as that one (it's missing the horizontal line at the bottom of the vertical line).

All but two of the possible TRANS codes are letters and not numbers.

 

Thanks for the comment on the truck,and yes,fresh paint a week ago.The trans code is a "T" after closer looking,you are correct.Hope you can tell me what the T stands for.Thanks again

 

I can decode it for Chris and save him some time today...
