Ford part number translation guide?

HELLLLPPPP !!!!

Does anybody recall an article that showed how to translate Ford part numbers into common sense ? I recall seeing a guide that defined the way the part numbers were created. Maybe it was in Classic Truck magazine, but I JUST CAN'T REMEMBER !!!

Of all the things I have found and lost, I miss my mind the most...


Hopefully someone else saw it too, and kept the article.
Thanks,

L0ngJ0hn
