of note ( other than the F engines being freight only, ala Coasters,etc ) is a few little details I picked up on .

The answer to that lies 2 pages later http://www.ninfinger.org/~sven/rock...67/67fsi16.html
This is when the NAR coding system went metric and B in the old system went to 1.2 lb-s - they show B in the "new system" as 6n-s don't know where they got that from, but it's a result of the change from english to metric
The old F1.3 was the forerunner of the F7 and the F18 became the mis-labeled F100
