1986F150Six Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 I did not know you had what was left of the factory one or that you could still find NOS ones? What magic search word did you use to find it and was it killer $$ for it? Dave, I got it for $25 USD. I saved the picture from Ebay. It is unique to the Flareside, and it was a carry-over from a 70's model car (Granada maybe). How close is this, Cory?

ArdWrknTrk Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Looks the same I think?>..Maybe Gary or somebody can confirm the part number? Color doesn't really matter. Maybe Ford updated the part with pigment so the plastic didn't break down from UV? (Would explain the later D->E part #) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Would explain the later D->E part #) Actually, the 3rd digit "F" indicates that it is NOT for a Bullnose, right?...Should be a "T" for a pickup, no? Edit: And would the "L/C Lamp" be Luggage Compartment Lamp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: And would the "L/C Lamp" be Luggage Compartment Lamp? T for truck, U (utility) for Bronco. IDK what that is. But it was said the same part on Granada. And the Granada was gone by then, right? Maybe the lamp is convenient, and Ford already owns the tooling??? Same as having a template in CAD today.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A quick Google search brought up this page below... https://m.roadkillcustoms.com/decode-ford-part-numbers/ According to it, "F" indicates "Foreign / Trans Am Racing". I'll have to leave this one to the FoMoCo part number experts;). At the end of the day, the lamp DOES look correct for the Flareside. Nice find David. A tip of the hat to you sir.
