Here's the reasoning for my thread, this is straight from my 1980 Body/Chassis/Electrical manual. No idea why the number is shown as 5060 here.

Ok, Shaun, how about this one? I think it came from a 1994 F250.

That's not the crossmember I'm looking for, so no dice.

Shaun - That's bizarre! Why would the FSM and the MPC have different numbers?

Re: Transmission Crossmember Info Missing From MPC?

I went through each manual transmission section and they're all like that, same number. Even the gussets have the wrong number, they start with 7's. Definitely odd.

No, mine has a dip for the dual headpipes and an almost vertical gusset on the right side as a result.

Because the FSM uses engineering numbers, not service part numbers. Two different worlds...

Ford Parts Monkey since 1985
1981 F100 Flareside - Black, 302-4V Roller/AOD
1986 F150 Flareside - Medium Fire Red 302/AOD
1989 F150 Standard Cab 4x4 - Dk Shadow Blue 302/AOD
1993 F350 4x4 Crew Cab - 7.3 IDI/ZF-5
I think it's a sickness...

Interesting. Are you saying there are three #’s: engineering; ID; and part?

Re: Transmission Crossmember Info Missing From MPC?

That's pretty much it. Usually, if there's a number on the part, it's an engineering number. You'll never find a part number directly (stamped or molded) on a part - only on a sticker, but even a sticker number may be an engineering number. Then there are manufacturer (vendor) mold numbers, etc...

It's sooo much fun.

Re: Transmission Crossmember Info Missing From MPC?

Upon inspecting my 4x2 crossmember, that is correct. The gussets are marked E4TA(?)-7F and E4TA(?)-7R, just like what the shop manual lists. Can't read the crossmember due to grime and surface rust, but it probably says 5060.
