Question Part Number codes

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.

About Ford's numbering system.

The 1st 4 digits relates to the vehicle that the part was designed for and who designed and created it.

The YW7F is weird



The F87F means

F =decade = 90's
8 = actual year 1998
7 = Courier (1971-82)
Ranger/Bronco II (1983-up);
F = General Parts/Electrical and Electronics Division

The 19B132-AA or AB is what describes the part or part application.

In your case, a radio.


Remember this though.

The number on a part is not an actual Ford part number.
It may be a ID number that Ford uses.

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.
