[QUOTE="Boss1Ray, post: 359225, member: 307"] A friend sent this to me in an email. Not sure where he got it but I thought I'd share. It seems extensive and I like that for breaking down information. Secluff, Hemikiller and others :) - let me know if anything looks wrong or out-of-place! Thanks!!! Decoding Ford Motor Company Part Numbers Ford Part Numbers (other than hardware parts) are coded in two basic ways: Parts originating from the USA have a four character prefix (C4GY), a four or five digit part number, ( 1130 ) and a one-letter suffix.( C ) . Example: C4GY-1130-C (Front Hub Cap on XRT GT and XWY GS Falcons)Australian numbers that start with AR and then the USA number following, usually means the part has been modified or change in some way for Australian Requirements.Example: ARC6DR 3504 C (Steering Box on XRT GT Falcons)Part numbers that start with XW , XA or similar , are generally parts made for Australian Models only. Many body-style specific sheet metal, body, interior and trim parts use seven digits in the part number, the first two of which identify the basic body type application, with the last five (“Body Group”) identifying the specific part within a general body area. A three-letter suffix may be used, usually to indicate color.Example: AR C6DZ 54 454A56 B01 ( Boot Mat XR – XT Falcon Black )So , this part number reads as follows.AR – Australian Requirements C – Decade of the 60’s6 – Year number 6 ( 1966 )D – FalconZ – Ford Service Part54 – Body style 4 Door 454A856 – Back Group ( Luggage Compartment ) B01 – Black Note: Part numbers used for ordering and inventory purposes, and marked on parts boxes, tags and labels should not be confused with engineering or casting numbers (normally stamped on or cast in the part for identification during the manufacturing process). They are not interchangeable — however all follow the same general rules, so these charts may be used to provide approximate interpretations of all types of these markings.
