BAE prefix?
Guys, I have a number of NOS bumper irons that have a BAE prefix. Anyone know what year(s), model(s) these are for?
Thanks!

Re: BAE prefix?
Appears to be early 50s, I think BA prefix is '52.

This is conjecture as I never became interested in pre-1954 FORD and never got involved with the early number system(s). If BA is the prefix 1952 (and I have no doubt), then E may identify the PN as an engineering PN, to be converted into a SERVICE PN. What period FORD are you involved with? You say bumper irons, are you describing bumper mounting brackets? Can you post the complete PN?

Re: BAE prefix?
BA goes through 1959.
B = 1950s A = Full size E = I'm not sure |

Re: BAE prefix?
I"m pretty sure that BAE is an engineering number.
The Ford part#s always have a number in the second placeholder signifying the year. EX.= B7 would be a 1957 Since there is no number in the BAE part inquiry it stands to reason that its an engineering assignment. If any additional information can be added perhaps the rest of the code could be broken. But as of now just the BAE is not enough information to decode. The Master Cross Reference books are not easily read from the engineering numbers to the Ford part numbers. A quick glance thru several of my MCR books did not produce the BAE code. Tell us if anything else is on the brackets. Oldmics |

Re: BAE prefix?
No. This Prefix (BA) is in a period before the system you are describing (B9A).

Re: BAE prefix?
Here is a partial list of early FORD PN Prefixes. I don't know if 100% correct but will give an idea. I copied this from a website and didn't keep the source info so I apologize for not giving correct credit.
1932 = 18 1933 = 40 1934 = 40A 1935 = 48 1936 = 68 1937 = 78 1938 = 81A 1939 = 91A 1940 = 01A 1941 = 11A 1942 = 21A 1943 = 39A 1944 = 49A 1945 = 59A 1946 = 69A 1947 = 79A 1948 = 89A 1949 = 8A 1950 = 0A 1951 = 1A 1952 = BA 1953 = BF I need to find an early MERC MPC ...

Re: BAE prefix?
Re early Ford (1932-1948) part # prefixes I thought:
Cars= A Commercials (1/-2 Ton) = C Trucks = T The prefix shows the year first made and continues to be used on parts made in years after until replaced by a new (changed) part. Still learning Ford stuff! Thanks guys! Gene Tulsa Last edited by G32; 10-23-2018 at 10:35 AM. Reason: re pre 48 F series & 1949 cars |
