It kinda jumbled. You need to line these codes up a bit better.

Dennis has easier to use refs..vvvv see below vvvv

The X in 06X means power steering with Adjustable Column * Tilt*

F is probably the Trans code for the Warner 4 speed

117 is 117" wheelbase

SF4 - is the trim code
S= seat type (new for 79)
F= colour (new for 79)
4= Styleside

101- Body GVWR code = 4800 lbs

EJ1913= your truck was built in arpril 1979

check your plate here as well on my page to verify.

It covers a few years with some things but moreso for 77-79

4 = ? (possibly Explorer Model)
TRANS --J = Ford 3 Speed Automatic
AXLE --06 2.75-1 Ford 2.9M
X=?
F10 = F100
G = 302
N = Norfolk VA Assy Plant
EJ1913 = 1979

Explorer was a Ford Truck trim line (like XLT, or Ranger), before it became a separate model.

Bill,

The S in SF4 means = Broadcloth & Vinyl Bench Seat (Explorer)
The F = Interior colour = Cordovan
The 4 means = styleside box

The X in 06X means power steering with adjustable column (Tilt)

It's in there

(I have extra fiche 73/79 LT..I'll pass them along gratis, if you like.

The 4 means = styleside box

Didn't you read my reply above ? Yes, Sir...but since you already listed X and 4..I demurred. because OP already had info...

It's in there
----------------------------
You have better VIN refs (in most cases) and are faster on the trigger...while I'm squinting at microfiche, you've already fired!

UYes I read your site
problem is somethings don't match up

It is an Explorer but has no adjustable steering column, and I didn't see a J trans code.

I was hoping that it would tell me if it was a C4 trans or C6

K is a three speed auto, J refers to power steering..there's no 11 (rear axle code) listed in the parts book past 1978.

4star,
what are the last 6 digits of the vin#

The last Code 11 I have listed was in 75 and it was a 4.11

pre-75 code 11 was a 3.50 axle
