Default F60- Chassis rail marks

Hi Chris,

I think the marking in the chassis rail is actually the part number.

C011Q 5015 B is listed in my F15-A Parts List as Side Rail RH. 5015 would just be the basic part number for a RH side rail. The other numbers and letters would be for a F60 chassis.

Casting numbers on blocks are hard to decipher other than the basic country, year of manufacture, and type such as C69A: C-Canada, 6-1946, 9-95 HP. Usually located on top centre of bellhousing and/or right front deck of the block.

Ford assumed engines would be changed out during the vehicle's lifetime but likely the transmission would stay with the vehicle so they stamped the s/n on the transmission. It seems strange now but early Ford practice. If no s/n is on your transmission perhaps it was a replacement at some time and therefore not factory stamped.

Cheers,
