Unfortunately not! I do like those. Do you happen to know when they started using them? Thanks.

That I’m unsure, but it seems common with UHP SSPs.

Not much progress on the car. Brakes are almost done. Ended up with reman Ford calipers as the ones on there were rusted solid. Power steering rack is leaking from the passenger side bellow. Looking for suggestions on the power steering rack. Can’t decided on a reman, used OEM, new LMR, or send mine out to Turn One for rebuild. Looking for suggestions based on other members experiences. I’m leaning towards staying closer to stock.

I have not had to replace a steering rack in a good long while, so I hope someone else chimes in. I did finally add your car to the VIN Project -

I anxiously await future updates! Another one saved.

Where did you source the rotors, pads and shoes?

Bill,
Thanks for the add. The guy I purchased this one from supposedly had a second 86 Utah SSP. Maybe he will share some pics or info on that one if I reach back out.

brinkjm,
I bought most of the parts from Rock Auto. They seem to have the cheapest price point, however they ship from multiple hubs causing shipping charges from each hub that is ordered from. Otherwise, LMR and CJ's have exactly what you need. I admittedly got hung up on the difference between rotors from 86-87, which resulted in bearing and seal differences. So little to no money saved in the learning process, but that's what this was about.

Thanks to everyone following along the process. Hoping to bring the car to Carlisle and Foxtoberfest.

I was working on some documentation/cataloging and stumbled upon some factory stamps on the fenders and hood that I am unfamiliar with. Any thoughts?

I still have VIN stamps on the inner fenders which was nice, considering it has had front end damage from an accident. Also, I still had the T5 tag that seems to be correct as a June 23, 1986 3rd shift build (F2363). I could definitely be wrong though. Overall I was just checking for originality of what's left. I would like to remove the interior at some point to check for a build sheet.

Where else should I check for factory codes/stamps?
