Dyn Blin Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Yeah that was just a for example, because some poeple don't realize there was an earlier numbering system. yeah I have no idea about those numbers either? And FOMOCO was dropped off parts at some point, don't remember that either now :( But it was a heck of a long time ago, so seeing it on a plastic light is weird :) I like it-It's simple, functional and no worry about a dedicated light for the plate illumination in the position below the bumper.

PetesPonies Posted November 15, 2017 Author Share Posted November 15, 2017 I like it-It's simple, functional and no worry about a dedicated light for the plate illumination in the position below the bumper. It's the way all Flaresides were done in previous bodystyles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myrl883 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 It's the way all Flaresides were done in previous bodystyles. The "6C3*" prefix is 2006 Super Duty. That light is from a cab and chassis truck, F350-F650. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beginning in 2000, Ford changed the meaning of part number prefixes. Now, the first digit is the model year (corresponding to the 10th digit of a VIN), the second and third digits represent the vehicle model line, and the fourth digit is now always the letter Z to signify a service part. This rule applies to part numbers, NOT engineering numbers. Anyone confused?? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, help me understand the "vehicle model line". Previous to that change the first character of the part number followed this table for the 3rd digit, with "T" being light truck and "E" being the vans. So what table do they now use?

You're correct on the year designation. Model designation is now two digits. C3 is Super Duty R3 is old Ranger C2 is Econoline K4 is Transit L1 is F150... CK4Z would be a 2012 Transit, for example. I'll see if I can find a table that I can paste on here while I'm at work today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have two tabs, one for up through 1999 and one for after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
