In order for all the aftermarket parts sellers to use Ford part numbers, they would have to pay FoMoCo a FAT yearly license fee to do so.
Carpenter has this arrangement with Ford, and his catalogs are set up with the same numbering sequence as Ford part catalogs.
The first year F100/350's have fuel doors is 1977.

Railing against them or their numbers setup doesn't help most of the questions asked here. I for one can't afford dealer parts, so I buy at the NAPA, Advance Auto, etc.
I am not interested in what number is on the label as long as it fits and works, or can be made to work.

Yeah, I would rather be burned alive than own a import car... My mom showed up in a corolla, she parks it across the street when she comes to visit...
The Rodeo's sold here were assembled in Indiana and many parts made in the states...Including the fuel tanks. I wouldn't drive one, but I sure do enjoy pulling the fuel tanks out, with a sawsall.
The nice thing is it has a lp in tank pump that can be used as a pickup or wired in and feed a carb...

LMC is not Ford parts book. There isn't one Ford part number listed anywhere.
Can you not by from this catalog specific Ford parts? Logic applies here now, therefore it is a ford parts catalog.

Dave, you are very knowledgeable person, and a nice guy to speak with in person, but...
You have no real Ford parts calalogs, no actual Ford parts experience and haven't one single clue on how FoMoCo operates.
I'm a very knowledgeble person, have Ford parts catalogs, 35 years of Ford parts experience, know how FoMoCo operates, but...
I'm also a first class SOB, you wanna know why?
Because...I waited on pinheaded beetle brained idiots at Ford parts counters for 35 years, that's why!

LOL, I don't need to waste cash on parts books. I have my friend, you, that willingly shares all the information and teaches me to improve my wayward ways...
I can locate P# with the best of them. I prefer not to look the stuff up in regards to FTE as i defer to your expertise, we could compete on the board for part numbers but i wont do that out of respect. I send them to you as you send them to me for the out of the box stuff.

All good things must to come to an end, especially when they become a PITA.
Since selling my truck, I've lost all interest in doing this jazz.

Hey Bill, that is some terrible news for the rest of us.
You have certainly provided a valuable service for the forums and don't for one second think that it is not appreciated.
But if your are done, you have your reasons. So thanks a million for all the info you have provided. I hope you will be lurking around here from time to time. You will certainly be missed otherwise.
Do you hang out on any other forums?
