I got it!!!!!

A few weeks ago I ran across a post that said how you could get the build sheet from Ford. This only works for vehicles that are 10 or more years old.

So here it is.
F15_____F-150 Pickup Truck
H_______5.8L 351 CID 8-Cylinder 2V Engine
P_______Twin Cities Assembly Plant
DE2759__Consecutive Unit Number

This vehicle was produced on 09/14/1978, with the following options:
133" Wheel Base
Medium Blue Metallic Exterior Paint Color w/ White Accent Color
Styleside Pickup
Cloth and Vinyl Bench Seat - Blue in Color
GVW is 6,050 lbs
Immersion Block Heater
Ammeter & Oil Gauge
Automatic C6 Transmission
2.75 Non-Locking Rear Axle
Power Steering
700x15D Single Rear Tube Type BSW Tires
Spare Tire Carrier Rear or Left Hand
Dual Mirrors Chrome Swinglok Low Mount 9x6
White Pickup Box Cover Std. L/Slide Window (?)
AM Radio
Tinted Glass All Around
Heavy Duty Battery 68 Amp
Front & Rear Shocks - Single HD Rear

So far its been through two C6's and a differential rebuild. It doesn't have tinted glass anymore and the seats are buckets and are black there is no rear tire carrier and it has two block heaters.

That is really neat! I had to pull the bench seat out of my new '74 and I found the original build sheet under the seat's springs !
I havent checked my '75's but if it doesn't have it I am going to get it .
I need to know what it came with so that I can restore it to factory condition !

I think its cool because that entire era was all paper and its hard to keep track of all that info.
It took about two weeks for the info to arrive and I was expecting a lot more info but I can deal with what I got, I know its hard to keep so much info when you build the best, most popular, best selling truck on the road.
