There were some interior trim and upholstery revisions. A new model was the F-150, rated at 6050 GVW. Similar to the F-100, it came with heavier springs and axles. Standard engine was the 300 c.i. six cylinder, with the 360,390 and 460 c.i. V-8s optional. As with all other F-Series trucks, power front disc brakes were standard equipment. The F-150 was available only on the 133" wheelbase as well as 139/155" wheelbase SuperCabs. Also new were the chassis-cab SuperCabs. F-100 SuperCabs could now me outfitted with the 300 c.i. six and 390 c.i. 2bbl V-8 in addition to the 360 c.i. V-8. The 240 c.i. engine was no longer available. The 300 ci. six became standard equipment. Due to Federal regulations, trucks with a GVW of less than 6,000 lbs. had to use unleaded gasoline as well as a catalytic converter. Models over 6,000 lbs. could use regular leaded gasoline. As in previous years, the following packages were available- The Northland Special, Ranger and Ranger XLT. The Ranger was not available on Crew Cabs. A new option package was the Custom Decor Group, for Regular and SuperCab pickups. It included knitted vinyl seat upholstery, color keyed floor mats, insulation and bright windshield, rear window, and drip rail moldings and bright hubcaps. The hubcaps weren't available with F-100 4x4s. There were no exterior changes on the Ranchero. Standard equipment now included power steering, power brakes and the automatic transmission. Engine availability was limited to the 351M V-8 with the 400 and 460 c.i. V-8s optional. All Rancheros were fitted with catalytic converters, electronic ignition and single exhaust systems. The Bronco was unchanged as well, but received several mechanical improvements and changes. Foremost was the use of a catalytic converter. The Courier was unchanged as well. That is the typical DSO explanation found in Ford shop manuals. A DSO is an internal Ford production code which groups batches of similarly equipped trucks to be built at the same time so that the specific parts used would be correctly scheduled to be on the assembly line as this group of trucks was rolling down the line. Thus a group of F-150 trucks destined for use by a particular Utility company would get a specific DSO number plus the two digit code for which the Utility is located.

Ok thanks.. strange thing though.. my truck was assembled in Canada.. and ended up in Pittsburgh, PA....Was it common for trucks built in Ontario to end up here?
|
I dont think it mattered much then, when something came off the line they shipped it were ever it was needed.....

Hello I would like to know the original color of my truck it was a special order and when I had the seat out I found the build sheet between the lower springs and foam, but the paint code is blank on that too. Any advise?
