OLD DECODES
 

I have every Ford Truck Parts Catalog from 1928 thru 2001, so I can decode all the VIN info, codes from the Rating/Warranty Plates and the Certification Label first used in 1981.

If you need parts, obsolete or not, I can look up the numbers, then search for them on two online websites to see if anyone has them. Then will post the part numbers, sources that have them.

If the parts are still available, I will list the MSRP and the FTE member discount price offered by sponsor PARTSGUYED.COM (Ed Olson, parts manager of Horizon Ford in Seattle WA).

I've been doing this jazz on FTE since 11/04/2006. And, btw: One of the parts locator sites is only accessible to FoMoCo Dealers.

I need info..
 

Do I post my VIN/door plate info here? Or a PM?

Thanks

From the op's first post/thread:

I just bought a 1970 F500 flatbed (VIN-F50BKH36050) and would like to convert it to a dumpbed if it isn't too terrible a task. I have to get a fuel pump and battery, fix the brakes and hopefully get it inspected/registered by the end of the month.

The door plate is as follows:
WB-156
Color-FM
Model-F504
Body-4C8
Trans-A
Axle-42
GVW-18000
Net H.P.-135
RPM-3400
DSO-1

I have a pretty good understanding of hydraulic systems, but I am mainly looking for information on the bracketry and hinge assemblies for the dumper. If I can't get a dumper setup too easily, I'll go with a bed crane and outriggers. Also a big hydraulic winch.

Thanks for the

F50 = F500.

B = 300 1V I-6.

K = Kansas City MO Assembly Plant.

H36050 = 1970.

156" Wheelbase.

FM: F = Light Beige / M = Wimbledon White.

F504 = F500, 18,000 lbs. GVWR

4C8: 4C = Black H/D all Vinyl / 8 = 81A Standard Cab.

A = New Process 435 4 Speed Manual Transmission.

42 = Rockwell model D100 Single Speed Rear Axle / 6.20-1 / 13,000 lbs. Rear Axle Capacity.

18,000 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.

135 net HP @ 3,400 RPM

DSO = ?

* Verify the AXLE code: 1970 and later 500 and larger series trucks usually have 3 digits. 3rd digit front axle code missing.

Thanks for the information. I will get a picture of the warranty plate tonight. I'm also going to try and get a picture of the foot well in the cab. It has and second foot button close to the high beam switch that I have no idea about. This truck also has the hangar for a tank on the frame...could that possibly be from an old side mount fuel tank? Or a hydraulic tank?

When ever it quits raining I'll finally get to spend some time crawling around underneath it and see what I can see.

Early/mid 1960's FoMoCo Passenger Cars were available with a radio reverberator, mounted under the dash, could be turned on/off by a switch located next to the dimmer switch.

1960's Cadillac's had a similar switch on the floor, I don't recall whether it raised/lowered the power antenna or was for a reverberator, basically an amplifier.

1967/79 all FoMoCo vehicles: If you contact martiauto.com, you can order a copy of your trucks original build sheet, window sticker and etc. All Marti needs is the VIN and some buckaroo's.

Info is from the original FoMoCo records that Marti acquired in the late 1980's when he learned that FoMoCo was going to THROW THEM AWAY!

Somebody over there at Marti Auto apparently could see into the future.

Good Morning! Do you know a good source for parts info for 77 - 79 Ford Rancheros?
Thanks!

I have a 1980 F600 with a 370 2V (N61HVJD9686). It sat for about a year and a half with a partial tank of fuel and condensation caused corrosion that destroyed the fuel sending unit and float. The original fuel tank and sending unit was replaced at some prior time with a diesel tank. The current sending unit has a drawing number of D3HF-9275-DA. Please locate me a sending unit and float. Thank you in advance.

Welcome to FTE

You do not have an F600. If you did, the VIN would begin with F61, not N61.

N61 = LN600 (gas).

H = 370 2V

V = Kentucky Truck Assembly Plant.

JD9686 = 1980.

ID number: D3HF-9275-DA = Ford part number: D3HZ-9275-D (replaced C3TZ-9275-A) .. Fuel Tank Sending Unit-Includes Float & Mounting Gasket / Use with gas or diesel engines / Obsolete

Applications: 1963/69 N600/750 / 1970/89 L/LN600/900 / 1970/89 LT/LTS 800/900.

NOS PARTS LTD in Waxahachie TX has 1 = 972-937-2201.

KAMA OBSOLETE PARTS in East Bethel MN has 1 = 763-434-0123.

DON SANDERSON FORD in Glendale AZ has 7 = 623-842-8643.

GREEN SALES CO. in Cincinnati OH has 7 = 800-543-4959.

Call around for the best price. Obsolete parts prices vary wildly from one source to another.

Thank you, I found one for $40 + shipping.

replacement engine
 

Hi Bill, i have not been able to sell my truck and the band would really like to have use of it again so have decided to replace the engine. i have busted push rods for sure and may have too much damage to rebuild this one. so my question is where can i get a replacement? my VIN: C70EVS15579, also what other engine would be appropriate, and could i go with an automatic transmission without changing rearend. thank You.

Bill, I have an 83 F700, 370 five speed, two speed rear. The hydromax monitor module failed. The part number is E1th-2co12-aa. I found a similar item on ebay, part number E0HZ-2C012-A. Will they interchange?

Marked with ID engineering number: E1TH-2C012-AA = original Ford part number: EOHZ-2C012-A replaced by: E8HZ-2C012-A .. Monitor Assy / Available from Ford

MSRP: $173.63 / FTE Ford Dealer Parts Dept sponsor tousleyfordparts.com price: $ :-huh Discount price not listed, it should be about $114.60.

Thanks Bill, I makes me feel better that Im not taking a shot in the dark with that! :)

Hello, Here is my vin-C60Z6H25626 (here is a link to the decoded vin--- http://www.vinwiz.com/1953-1960fordt...in=C60Z6H25626)

I am looking for a U-bolt strap kit for the rear transaxle. The guys I bought the truck off of disconnected the driveshaft and threw them away. I also need a gas pedal, and the connection from the carb to the oil bath air cleaner. Thank you very much!

oh thanks for this offer. You are really very talented and one of the best member to providing the info about the all type of parts.I should contact with you whenever i have any problem about the parts and their codes.

VIN contains 11 digits, it's missing the engine (4th digit) and assembly plant (5th digit) codes.

F60 = F600.

Engine?

Assembly Plant?

362231 = 1963, assembled December 1962.

Rut-ro,,, better go find it on the truck, that is what is on the pink,,,

Bill,

New guy here (lurked for a long time) .... I have a 1995 F800 rollback. 5.9 Cummins, auto trans. You appear to be a main source of info, so ............

I cannot find any Ford parts folks that will even begin to look up even simple components - I am sure, because of the age. I know there must be some availability - not tool long ago I redid a 64 C1000 with the help of a Ford parts guy here in town. Managed to locate all kinds of stuff - rubber, filters, etc. He is gone, no joy with anybody even attempting to locate parts.

After pretty simple stuff for the F800 - original rubber floor mat, break pedal rubber pad, fuse block - simple stuff.

Any suggestions as to what dealer/parts guy will take the few extra minutes to at least try?

My vin: 1FDNF82C2SVA82440

Thanks for any ideas as to who I might try.

Billy C.

NumberDummy,

This one might throw you through a loop. I just bought what I know is a 1969 F-100. The VIN on the door is incorrect but the title also has that VIN. Its Production numbers would put it as a '67 f100 but the title states the '67 VIN and then states it as a 1969 (I will have to figure out what went wrong there). The frame VIN on the other hand... this is where it is a little confusing so I am just going to give you the frame VIN. I do believe this one to be correct, but the production number would put it in a void between '68 numbers and '69 numbers.

F10YKD83640

Good luck! Hope you can figure it out for me.

F10 = F100 2WD

Y = 360 2V

K = Kansas City MO Assembly Plant.

D83640 = 1969.

1969 Serial Number Range: D82,001-G90,000.

1968 Serial Number Range: C00,001-D82,000.

1967 Serial Number Range: A00,001-B82,000.

This one should be fairly simple, the truck is a '72 F-600 dump truck: F60CVP21549 <!-- / message -->

Ok,,, correct VIN is in red,,, do not know how I managed that,,, I don't remember drinking,,:-X04

C = 292 2V

K = Kansas City MO Assembly Plant.

Thanks Bill!!

As a side note, anyone looking for an F600 Dump truck?! I have to many trucks,,, says not me, but insurance company, AND since it is a F600, it is considered commercial. So, long story short, I don't really use it, other than to drive around the block with the kiddos every other week or so, and I really don't want to pay insurance on it in addition to all my other members of the "fleet"!
Registration is paid through the end of Dec. it runs great, got new kingpins in and tie-rods in the next few days. It was a whim buy to save it from letting sit and rotting away,,,

Hello Numberdummy,

I just bought a '67 C900 Ford Fire truck. Vin# C95LUA5664. Any information you can dig up would be greatly appreciated.
I see you are in Hacienda Heights. I live in Glendora, so we should get together and talk Ford trucks over at In-N-Out.

Thank you,
Rodger

Please check these for me.
Thanks
(Ps i did not want to double post)
