Patrick, It's probably that "F" is the month. June is the 6th month of the year, and F is the 6th letter of the alphabet. I've seen some other parts (the wheels maybe?) stamped using this month code also.

When I looked closely, it had a date written on the sticker that said: 19/F/81 I'm assuming that this means my hood was stamped or assembled on February 19, 1981. I find this interesting because my car wasn't built until June, but maybe this shows that the hoods were being produced before the cars were? Or maybe I just got an extremely early hood thrown on my car. Anyone else have a sticker behind their trunk light?
