Trans Question... Quite Confused
I recently got a 62 F100 as payment for cutting firewood... Its a long bed, styleside with a chevy 292 I6 (originally 292 v8). The trans code on the data plate is FA... What trans is that? The current 4-speed has reverse left,rear... any ideas?
Thanks!

The only 4 speed transmission choice for 1961/63 F100/250/350/500/600/700's: Warner T-98.
No New Process 435's in F Series trucks (or anything else) till 1964.
There were no double letter transmission codes till 1980.
The A is part of the AXLE code...there should be a number after the A. > >
1961/62 F100: A1 = Spicer 44 ~ 3.73-1 w/Limited Slip (LS) / A2 = Spicer 44 ~ 3.91-1 w/LS / A3 = Spicer 44 ~ 4.10-1 w/LS.
On Warranty Plates, Ford sometimes didn't stamp the AXLE code, which follows the TRANS code in the correct location.
As Garbz2 posted above: TRANS code F = Warner Model AS120-T-98A 4 Speed Transmission.
EZ way to ID Warner 4 speed transmissions: The cap (8MTH7220) that retains the shift lever into the shift tower screws on/off.
The NP 435 cap (B8T7220D) is retained by two pins that protrude from the shift tower. The cap is notched and twists on/off by a 1/4 turn.

Well, here is my data plate - If what you said is correct, the axle code would be A12, if you could please decode that I will be forever greatful.
Thanks again for all the great, rapid responses!

Is a four wheel drive.......F11.........
Need that info to do a decode...
Alxes for the 4x4s have a letter and number, the letter being the weight capacity of the front axle and the number being the type rear axle and ratio of each. Dont have my books in front so ND should be able to finish it.

A12 is the axle code...but when a letter * is the first digit of the code, that denotes Limited Slip, and when three digits are present, the third digit denotes the front axle code.
The third digit is used for either 4WD front axles, or if the weight capacity of the front axle is not the standard axle---this last part refers to F500 and larger trucks thru 1969. After 1969, all the big trucks have a three digit code, regardless if the front axle is heavier than standard or not.
A1 is the rear axle code: Spicer (Dana) 44 / 3.73-1 / Limited Slip / 3300 lbs. Rear Axle Capacity
2 is the front axle code: Spicer (Dana) 446F / 3.73-1 / non Limited Slip / 3000 lbs. Front Axle Capacity
* Letter code as the first digit denotes Limited Slip for all vehicles, car & truck from 1959 thru today. 1959 was the first year Ford offered Limited Slip.

Unlike you young 'uns, the Dummy was born when FDR was Prez and my eyes aren't the greatest, even after cataract & lazik treatment!
See my profile for how ancient the Dummy is. If someone else wants to try, be my guest...I have errands to run, be back later with a magnifying glass!
