Check out the thread below.
Heres how ford codes work. They all start with a alphabet, then a number, The alphabet denotes the decade, and the number will be the year of the decade, so mainly you just need the first two digits.
B = 50's
C = 60's
D = 70's
E = 80's
F = 90's
Example C900E
69' year modle
700E
70' year modle
E4TZ
84' year modle
Hope this helps DW
