D6VF-19A168-AA .. Ford Engineering Number for your radio. That number prolly translates to: D4AZ-18806-C.
However, D6VF: D = decade = 1970's; 6 = year = 1976; V = Lincoln; F = Engineering.
The radio is from at least 1976. But just because it has the Lincoln engineering number prefix, doesn't mean it was only used in Lincolns. Heck, it coulda been used in Pintos!

Some guy prolly has that Pinto today and swears the seats are factory, cuz that's what the owner told him.

Thanks for all the info..... Even though 8 tracks weren't technically a factory option, I'm going to install mine anyway. Would give my truck a nice conversational piece, since most people are installing CD players, disc changers and what not. Heck, I'm even going to keep a small collection of 8 tracks in the truck. I just checked the radio out the other day and when it played, you never would have known the damn thing was 30 years old. Probably sat on the shelf I found it on for over 10 years if not more in a pile of radios at my father-in-laws barn. Anyway, thanks again.

If I find my 8 track(I removed 10 years ago), I'm gonna put it back in my 78 f150. Then put an 8 track of something in it, and wire the hidden disc changer to the speakers. I will then burn discs of nothing but 70's music on them with short dj statements between songs with "period" commercials (I'll do them myself on my recording studio). One disc will be the 8 track copy, and I'll switch discs with the remote while the passengers aren't looking, as I push the 8 track in, lol.

Dennis and NummerDummy, that's weird that according to the parts list, the 74/76 Canadian trucks had AM/Stereo-Tape D3ZZ-18806-C while the Econolines 77/79 had AM/Stereo 8 Track Tape Stereo D6ZZ-18806-A and the AM/FM Stereo 8 Track Tape D4AZ-18806-C, and the Quadraphonic Tape D6SZ-18806-A
Why wouldn't the 74/76 Canadian Trucks specify "8 Track" instead of just "Tape". I noticed that when I looked at the price list and didn't think that was an 8 track stereo for the Canadian trucks. Then I looked more closely at the Econolines and there were 8 track stereo, quadraphonic tape stereo, and Cassette Tape. So then I was confused on what "Tape" meant for the Canadian trucks. A bit confusing at first glance with the terminology.
