W Woods wrote on Wednesday, September 13, 2000 (PDT):Request originator develop a table showing the various digits of the code and their respective values. The narrative explanation is a bit confusing. Example, part of the narrative explains the first digit identifies the decade of manufacture. Later, in the same paragraph, it seems to suggest this same digit represents country of Mfg, i.e. E=England. Since the narrative does not identify all of the possible code definitions (i.e. what is the country code for the US?) the fully documented table would be a tremendous source document.
Gary Webers wrote on Thursday, September 28, 2000 (PDT):Thank you for your article. However to help clear up some confusion, I wish to add the following. Example D1ZZ ... The D means 1970's, 1 means 1971. So if you need a part for a 95 pickup, the number should start F5... Keep in mind that if the part was used in a previous year, it would have the prefix from that year. One last comment. This is the current system of numbering parts. Prior to this, there was a different system for the prefix.(1930's & 40's)
