Vin and Product Code, Please help.
I am trying to decode the data on a truck I bought. Originally I was going to use it as a donor truck for my 1959 project, however, I sort of like the way it drives.
I looked at the decoder in the trans and axle articals, but it was not very helpful. I have an axle code of 12, which it shows as a Ford axle with a 2.73 ratio, but lists it for a 1991 truck. My truck is an 87.
My trans code is "k", which I think is a C6, but the "k" code is not even listed for a 87 and up truck.
If I keep the truck as a driver I will buy a manule, but for now would someone mind looking up the codes for a '87?
My type is "F151"; my body is "BD4"; Trans is "k"; axle is "12"; and springs are "v" and "h".
The Vin is 1FTCF15Y2HPA64754.
Thanks for the help - and please post a link if there is a reliable code reader on the net ----

Thank you, that was interesting. I have saved that information and will add it to the notebook on the 59 build. Unfortunatly the two items I am most interested in are the trans type and the axle code - "k" and "12" on the paper plate glued to the door pillar. Any help there?
On my '59 the vin plate is riveted to the inside of the glove box door - Two screws and the door is off the truck!

Thank you Texas - that area did not help. It did not show the trans code "k" and the axle code "12" was listed as installed in a 91 Ford - mine is an 87.
If it had been that easy I would not be bothering the good people of this board -

Thanks, everyone. That is all the info I needed. It is exactly what I wanted. I will likely use it as a daily driver this summer and then use the chassis under my '59 when I complete the bodywork on it. It is funny as both trucks came from salt free areas, but the '59 has less rust than the '87.
