It's real simple, you find the basic Ford part number in the illustration section, then take it to the text section to get the complete part number.

Gee whiz, Gary Lewis didn't need any help and I don't think Mr. Dazed & Confused did either. Coupla others members have it, they didn't need any help.

I would find basic part number but could not find the full number for the truck I was look it up for.
I will give it a try again some day when I need to.
I guess when they picked out my brain they got it from the Abby Normal jar LOL

What, precisely, are you trying to find in it?

Yeah, it can be disorganized & even incorrect in places, Ford did the best they could with the technology available at the time - paper & microfiche. Ford's parts numbering system evolved over time, since the days of the Model T - and it's reflected in that book - the 1994 Final Edition printing of it, too, where one would expect a lot of things to have been corrected but they weren't.

gI am not looking for anything at this time and I don't remember what it was I was trying to look up but after an hour I gave up.
It was just something I wanted to cross check the numbers on?
Might have been the disc brake dust shields for the 81 F100 4x2 300 six, one with power and the other with out power.
I did find out when I went to put everything back together ....... they are different as are the calipers & pads, hubs/rotors, spindles, kingpins & beams.
Oh the joy I had finding this all out

I had to disassemble mine as the power and ground wires were frayed to bare metal on both and exactly at the plastic casing. After an hour of joy rewinding and packing the 60 some odd feet of spring, I’m stuck on final assembly. Has anyone got any pix where you disassembled and rebuilt your optional underhood retractable engine light? Pretty neat option, I sure would like to save it! Thanks for any direction in the repair.

Were you thinking about the Clock Main Spring in this light like me ?
I'm going to have to buy a few of these and take them apart...

Im tempted to take mine apart. I don't think I will use it though. I really want to run a LED bulb but there just isn't much bulb wise for this light since it uses a positive and a ground lug on the bottom of the bulb.
