Introduction

Congratulations on purchasing the 1965/1972 Ford Car Master Parts and Accessory Catalog. If you are restoring a classic Ford car, this catalog will be an invaluable resource in determining the correct service part for your project.

This Ford Car Master Parts Catalog contains replacement parts and accessories information for Ford, Fairlane/Torino, Mustang, Thunderbird, Bronco, Falcon, Maverick and Pinto for model years 1965 through 1972 for U.S. and Canadian built vehicles. Use the "Text" catalog (FP-7635A) which contains the complete part number in conjunction with the “Illustration" catalog (FP7635-B) which contains the illustrations of all the parts.

This product is reproduced from the original Ford Motor Company manuals used during the 19651972 era. As a result of using the original authentic documents, some of the pages may have imperfections such as folds, lines, or off-center alignment of the pages. However, because this catalog has not been re-typed or re-written in any way, you can be assured that what you are reading is exactly how it appeared to Ford technicians of the era. Only the Main Menu pages are not part of the original catalog and are provided simply to help explain how to use this manual.

How this Catalog is Organized

With over 6000 pages of information in the Master Parts and Accessory Catalog, it is important to understand how the book is organized. The following information is provided as a more detailed explanation to what is found in the “General Information” sections of the Text and Illustration catalogs.

Catalogs

The Master Parts and Accessory Catalog is actually comprised of two separate catalogs: 1) a “Text" catalog (FP-7635A) which contains the complete part number and 2) an “Illustration" catalog (FP-7635-B) which contains the exploded illustrations of all the parts. Both catalog volumes are used together to identify the correct part for a vehicle.

Groups

There are two major groups within each catalog: Chassis Group and Body Group. The Chassis Group contains items such as the engine, transmission, brakes, rear axle, heater, springs, etc. The Body Group contains items

such as dash panel, doors, instrument panel, floor, rear seat, etc.

Sections

Both Chassis and Body Groups are then further divided into Sections which relate to a general category of parts. For example, Front Suspension components are in Section 30; Rear Axle is Section 40; etc. The applicable exploded illustrations for a component are generally contained in the corresponding section of the Illustration catalog. For example, if Front Suspension part numbers are in Section 30 of the Text Catalog, then the corresponding illustrations are generally found in Section 30 of the Illustration Catalog. In addition, a Section contains the group numbers (part numbers) for the entire group. That is, Section 20 would contain all numbers from 2001-

2995.

Group Numbers (Chassis)

Each Section is organized by the “Group Number” in sequential order. The Group Number should not be confused with the Chassis Group and Body Group which are simply categories of parts and not part numbers. As you will see later, the Group Number is an integral part of the “basic part number” and overall part number.

The “Section numbers” are the leading numbers of the “Group number”. So, for example, if you are in Section 20, the first two Group Numbers will be 20, 21, 22, …to 29. If you are in Section 150, the first three numbers will be 150, 151, 152,… to 159. Following the first two (or three) numbers will be two additional numbers to uniquely identify the part. Therefore, the group number can quickly help determine which section of the catalog the part number can be found. For example,

2440 = Section 20 of the catalog because the first two digits “24” are between 20-29 2B450 = Section 20 of the catalog because the first two

between 20-29

4374 = Section 40 because 43 is between 40-49. 13404-5 = Section 130 because 134 is between 130-139.

“Expanded Numbers” - Letters (A, B, C) may be included in the standard Group Number to make them “expanded numbers”. Letters were added to the group number to accommodate new part number into the system. For example, if Ford produced a new part or a variation to a part, they might assign a “letter” to the group number. If a letter is added to a group number, the expanded numbers will be considered to follow the same sequence as the regular basic numbers from which they are expanded and are arranged in Catalogs as follows. This would be the sequential order with expanded group numbers from Section 35 and 36:

3538 3C538 3634 3A635

Group Number (Body)

Body Group numbers contain two additional numbers to identify the body style. Therefore, the “Body Type Code” are the first two digits signify the body style (2 door sedan, 4 door sedan, etc). Body Type Codes are found on pages 31-34 of the Chassis General Information.

digits “24” (ignore the letter B) are

Example: D0DZ-6200052-A Body Type Code = 62 (Falcon, 2 door sedan) Group Number = 00052 (Vehicle Identification Retainer)

On the right is the diagram from page 4 of the Chassis General Information section on how to decipher the Body Parts Group Numbering System:

For a detailed list of Body Group Numbers, go to page 9 of the Chassis General Information.

Note: Illustrations contain basic or group numbers only, therefore, it is necessary to refer to the basic or group within the "text" catalog for complete applicable part num bers

How to Read Chassis and Body Part Numbers:

Chassis parts and Body parts have two different formats, so it is important to understand the differences.

Chassis Part Numbers:

Chassis Parts have a four character prefix, a four or five digit basic part number, and a one-letter suffix. The first two numbers of the basic part number identify the section. Chassis part numbers range from 1001 to 19A998

Example: C5ZZ-5255-F (Exhaust "turn-down" tailpipe on '65-66 289 4V Non-GT Mustangs)

First digit: Decade

The first digit is a character entry relating to the decade of production.

A = 1940's (often omitted) D = 1970's B = 1950's E = 1980's C = 1960's F = 1990's

Second digit: Year

The second digit is the last digit of the year of part introduction or revision.

5 = 1965 9 = 1969 6 = 1966 0 = 1970 7 = 1967 1 = 1971 8 = 1968 2 = 1972

Third digit: Model

The third digit is the model application. For example a part with a model code of B would generally apply to Bronco’s. However, there are numerous examples where the model code is actually used for different models. For example, some of the Mustang Boss 429 parts have a C9AE prefix which corresponds to a 1969 Galaxie.

Fourth digit: Design Engineer Office

The fourth digit is the design engineering office. The design office, as the name implies, was the office responsible for the design of the part. Some of the more common codes are: B=body, C=chassis and E=engine.

Y Lincoln/Mercury Service Parts Z Ford Service Parts

Fifth thru Eighth (or ninth, or tenth) digit: Group Number

(also referred to as the Basic Part Number) The fifth thru perhaps the tenth digit is the Group Number or the Basic Part Number. Example (Group numbered bolded for emphasis):

C5ZZ-5255-F C8TZ-1A401-A (with an expanded basic part number)

Last Digit or Suffix

The last digit is usually a letter (A, B, C, etc.) and indicates a revision or change to a particular part. If the part did not change, the suffix is not used. The letter A=the first change, B=second change, etc.

Body Part Numbers:

Body part numbers are similar to Chassis part numbers with one exception, the group number or basic part number uses a seven digit number. The first two digits identify the body type (see pages 31-34 of the Chassis General Instructions) and the last five numbers ("Body Group") identify the specific part within a general body area. A one to three-letter suffix may be used, usually to indicate color. Therefore, the first four characters of a body part number use the same format as the chassis part number (see Chassis Part Numbers above).

Example #1: D0DZ-6200052-A Body Type Code = 62 (Falcon, 2 door sedan) Group Number = 00052 (Vehicle Identification Retainer)

Example#2: C6ZZ-6504290-BAB Body Type Code = 65 (Mustang, 2 door hardtop) Group Number = 04290 (Instrument Panel, Black)

Note: Example #2 is a Body Part number, but because it is an instrument panel pad, it is considered a Soft Trim item. Therefore, this item is NOT found in the body parts section. Instead, it is found in the Soft Trim Section. In this case, look under Soft Trim > 1966 > 04290 (page 47 of the Soft Trim section).

Service Part numbers differ from Engineering or Casting numbers. Part numbers were used for
