Possible to date a part?

Post by Coffee_Beans » Tue May 14, 2019 7:44 pm

Hello, I recently found a universal joint at a flea market and bought it as a novelty to clean. After cleaning, I found a Ford marking, and did some googling which brought me here. Is it possible to tell the year or type of vehicle/engine this part was used in? It is marked on various parts "Ford" "T49"
"T45"

Any insight appreciated.
Thanks!

The "T" number is most likely the Ford Factory number and that u-joint fits all years & models.

All years of the Ford Model T car and truck, 1908 to 1927.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas! :shock:

1925 Cut down pickup
1948 Ford F2 pickup
