FORD V.I.N NUMBER GUIDE
When ordering parts for Ford vehicles, it is possible to identify the exact month and year of manufacture for a particular vehicle by looking at the Vehicle Identification
Numbers (VIN), and relating that number back to the table below.
The V.I.N. number is an alpha / numeric code and will be either:
1) Stamped onto the floor between the drivers seat and the door sill.
2) On a plate, located under the bonnet, on the front slam panel or bulk head.
3) On a plate, located on the passenger side of the dash.
The V.I.N. number will be shown as a series of letters followed by numbers.  The important part of the series, which will allow you to identify
 the month of manufacture, is the last two letters, as highlighted.
e.g. SFABXXAAFB RT 47392
Using the table below, RT would mean that the vehicle was produced during April 1994
