Title: What's the "body code" for a 2-door hrdtp '57 Fairlane 500?
Post by: greaseball on 2009-08-22 17:50
So I'm trying to order my windshield weatherstriping and I need to know the "body style code" to get the right part.
I think it's 66 but I'm not sure...?

It'd be super if someone could fill me in...

Thanks!

The body code is 63A according to my book.  66 is a Ranchero.

Greaseball,
      John is right. It's 63A. But you need to look at your Vin plate on the drivers door front post. That plate will tell you loads about the car. What engine it came with, what body style, outside color and inside color and fabric. Also it will tell you when it was assembled, where it was assembled and what part of the country it was shipped to for sale. You can decode you Vin plate on the Website 57fords.com
