Sorry if this is a little long. I think some of us use mail services
like Juno that won't handle attachments.
In looking for the six bladed fan part number I ran across this info
that I thought might be of interest.
I know that it's aimed at Mustangs but it is still good information to
have around.

How to Read FoMoCo Part Numbers
(Note: This following information is primarily geared toward 1960's
Fords,
although it generally applies to later years as well.)
Ford part numbers (other than hardware parts) are coded in two basic
ways:
Regular parts have a four character prefix (LFLL), a four or five
digit part
number, and a one-letter suffix.
Example: C5ZZ-5255-F (Exhaust "turn-down" tailpipe on '65-66 289 4V
Non-GT
Mustangs)
Many body-style specific interior and trim parts use seven digits in
the part
number, the first two of which identify the basic bodystyle
application, with
the last five identifying the specific part within a general body
area. A
three-letter suffix may be used, usually to indicate color.
Example: C6ZZ-6504290-BAB (Instrument Panel, 1966 Mustang, Black)
The following tables attempt to further elaborate on the coding of the
various
portions:
Prefix
Decade
A = 1940's (often omitted)
B = 1950's
C = 1960's
D = 1970's
E = 1980's
F = 1990's
Year
Last digit of year of introduction or revision
1 = 1961 or 1971 or 1981 etc., depending on the decade code
Model
A = Ford (Generic) / Galaxie
C = Truck
D = Falcon
E = Explorer
F = Foreign / Trans Am Racing
G = Comet (Later Montego)
H = Holman/Moody HiPo Part
J = Industrial
L = ?
M = Mercury
N = ?
O = Fairlane (Later Torino)
P = Autolite (Later Motorcraft)
Q = ?
R = Rotunda (Generic)
S = Thunderbird
T = Truck
U = Econoline/Club Wagon Van
V = Lincoln
W = Cougar
Z = Mustang
Department classification
A = Chassis
B = Body
D = ?
E = Engine
F = Engine Accessories
J = Autolite
M = Holman Moody
P = Auto Transmission
R = Manual Transmission
S = ?
U = ?
W = Axle
X = Muscle Car Parts
Y = Lincoln/Mercury Service Parts
Z = Service Parts
Note: For 1940's parts ("A") the first character is sometimes omitted.
Similarly, the final character is occasionally dropped at the whim of
the Ford
Parts Number creators. Thus, such items as "Ford Rubber Cement" may
appear with
a part number of "8A-19552-B", rather than "A8AZ-19552-B"
Regular Parts
Part Identifier Suffix
1000 = Wheels
2000 = Brakes
3000 = Suspension & Steering
4000 = Axle & Driveshaft
5200 = Exhaust
5300-5400 = Front Springs & Stabilizer
5500-5900 = Rear Springs
6000 = Engine
7000 = Transmission
8000 = Radiator, Grille, Cooling & Belts
9000 = Fuel System & Fuel/Oil Gauges
10000 = Charging & Instruments
11000 = Starting
12000 = Ignition
13000 = Lamps & Horns
14000 = Wiring
15000 = Accessories
16000 = Moulding & Ornaments
17000 = Safety Equipment (Jack, Speedometer, Washer, Wipers,
Mirrors, Bumpers)
18000-18100 = Shocks
18200-18700 = Comfort-Convenience Equipment (Floor Mats, Heater)
18800 = Radio & Antenna
18900 = Speakers
19000 = Gasoline
19100 = Fire Extinguishers
19500 = Custom Accessories & Car Care
19600-19900 = Air Conditioning
Single letter indicates specific application.
Note: Subassembly parts or accessory kits may add an additional letter
(starting
with "A", then "B", and so on) following the Thousands digit in the
part number
identifier. Thus, we have a Mustang automatic transmission shift lever
with part
number "C5ZZ-7213-M", while the accompanying selector dial for a
center-console
equipped Mustang would be "C5ZZ-7A213-D".

identifier.
Thus the 1966 Rotunda Headrest Kit (Black) features Ford part number
"C6AZ-62612A18-A"
