The third digit is the model application. For example a part with a model code of B
would generally apply to Bronco’s. However, there are numerous examples where the
model code is actually used for different models. For example, some of the Mustang Boss
429 parts have a C9AE prefix which corresponds to a 1969 Galaxie.
