1978 Ford F150 build sheet template/guide?

When you say build sheet, are talking about something like this? If yes, no template that I know of.
You might consider getting a Marti Report, that will give you a lot of info on how your truck was equipped when it left the factory.

Thanks again for that, Mike. Does the sheet have any info on trim level or color? The pic is blurry, so that is why I hoped someone had a template and could decipher options the truck originally came with. On the fence about buying it. It has had a repaint (not pretty), a rebuilt 400 and seems to be a Ranger Lariat shortbox 4x4 with manual.

The paint codes on the build sheet are on the top line, just to the right of the VIN, about center. It's the one with the dark header above it. Below "PAINT" it's divided into "BODY" and "ACCENT". On your sheet the body color is shown as "3G" and the accent is "6P". Neither of these codes translate into the "normal" paint codes on the warranty plate. On the warranty plate "3G" would translate into a two-tone paint with "3" being the primary color and "G" being the accent, secondary color. 3 wasn't used for a paint code in '78 and G was chrome yellow, but, like I said, these codes aren't the same.
The "buck tags" that some people find on their firewalls have the same problem. Some codes can be deciphered others can't, but at the time they made sense to the workers building the trucks.
