myrl883 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Here we have a part clearly labeled E3TZ 1060230-A and yet it doesn't exist in the catalog. Ya need a newer catalog - lol. It was released as a PTM (paint to match) part to replace all of the old molded in color parts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 What would Mr. NumberDummy say? Probably something like "Oklahoma Kid - If you'd get that viewer down and sort through the microfiche I loaned you then you'll find that on the 1988 version of the catalog the part number is there."

Actually, no. I need an older catalog. The electronic one I have is the 1994 version, and by then Ford took many of the numbers out since they were NLA. But the earlier versions I have in microfiche do turn up things from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is it was made after production of these trucks stopped. It was done in black so it could go with any interior color, or even be painted. Over the counter replacement parts, after production has ceased, are many times slightly different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford F834 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Here we have a part clearly labeled E3TZ 1060230-A and yet it doesn't exist in the catalog. I was wondering what would change with this part 80-82 vs. 83+? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I was wondering what would change with this part 80-82 vs. 83+? Notice that for this piece in 1980 - 82 the catalog doesn't show any color but Charcoal. But for '83 it does show other colors. And at the top of the table it says "• Available for service only in Charcoal" Then go to Specifications/Interior Paint and in my table you'll see that all the colors changed for 1983. My guess is that they had so few of the early colors available by the time this catalog was printed in '94 that they took out all of the old #'s, like the one in eBay advert, and substituted the E4TZ-A Charcoal number. That made it simpler because the earlier blue, tan, and reds were different and didn't match the later colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
