Welcome to FTE.
If you want to know exactly how your truck was when it left the factory, when it was built, the date that it was ordered, etc. contact Marti Auto and order a "Marti Report"
This will contain all the info you could possibly want on how your truck was built.

Welcome to FTE

1977 F100 302: The only available A/T was the C4, AOD not available until 1981. 351W wasn't available until 1981 either, but was not installed in F100's.

If you post your VIN, all the codes stamped on the Warranty Plate, all can be decoded.
