Default Decoder

The following comes from a publication called Fast Moving Parts for all Ford Products 1928-1946 Catalogue. I picked it up out of Ebay and on the inside cover was the name of the owner, G.H.Jopson, Melford Motors, 621 Elizabeth St, Melbourne.

The decoder is as follows using a random sample number of
C016TF-2265A

C - represents Canadian design
0 - represents the model year for which the part was designed'
8=1938, 9=1939, 0=1940, 1=1941, 2=1942, 3=1943,
4=1944, 5=1945, etc
1 - represents the engine type
1=85H.P. V-8, 2=60H.P. V-8, 9=95H.P. V-8
6 - represents the vehicle wheelbase
1=101" W.B., 8=158" W.B., 6=176" W.B., 4=194" W.B.
Wheelbase is not specified for 134".
T specifies the type of vehicle, A-Passenger, B-Bus,
C-Commercial, D-3/4 Ton, T-Regular Truck, U-Dump,
V-Drop Frame, W-Cab-Over-Engine, Y-1 Ton.
F - designates right-hand drive.

The 2265 designates basic part number and also group number, namely, Brakes. In this case the A relates to Passenger 1928-31.

Thereis more decoding information but relates only to Group Numbers and Years and Models.

Therefore Keefy I believe the F stands for Right-hand drive.
