Is there any where I can find out the part number codes? I once was told by a parts person that the part number gave a lot of info such as year, model etc.. But I have since forgotten. I am trying to cross check a radio for a 2001 F-150. The old part # is YW7F 19B132 AA. The new part is F87F 19B132 AB. I don't have the part in front of me and I'm trying to see if this radio will fit.

The YW7F is weird
Thats the understatement of the year! They really screwed up the system for us parts people when they went to G-CAT(global cataloging).We used to be able to tell everything about a part # by just looking at it.
Y = 2000
1 = 2001
2 = 2002
etc.
W7 = Crown Vic
So, the YW7F was an original 2000 Crown Vic part, but it may have been put in other vehicles as well.I don't know if the F87F will work in its place.
