Body Model Numbers (Types) were assigned to both current and past A and AA bodies. The types corresponded with a body part number grouping (example – platform type 88-A was for body parts number group 88000-88999).
Refer to RGJS page 8 and page E-3 for Type listings.
Example: A 1929 pickup consisted of a cab and cargo body. The cab was a 76-A open cab or 82-A closed cab. The cargo body was a 78-A.
Without knowing the Type ids, it is much harder to use Ford body and/or chassis parts lists.
