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.

Regards,

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".

 40000 = Hood, Rear Window, Trunk & Rear Valence
 50000 = Roof
 60000 = SeatsSingle letter indicates specific application.
 
 Three-letter code usually indicates color.
    
Note: As above, subassembly parts or accessory kits may add an
additional 
letter, in this case following the Hundreds digit of the part number
identifier. 
Thus the 1966 Rotunda Headrest Kit (Black) features Ford part number 
"C6AZ-62612A18-A"
