VIN would help
Also there should be a sticker on the door or door pillar with date of manufacture, VIN (warranty number), trim, axle etc,

If you still have the original door sticker in the LH door jam it will have month/date on it. Other than that, look at that other thread and contact Ford.

Theres no stickers on the truck think they were taken off when it was painted air force green in 1997 its had a few more coats of paint the years ive had it . Phone number is great if i was in USA but international calls can be expensive think e mail would be better

You'll need to contact Ford's UK division.

Ford US might not send the information to you directly, but they might relay it to Ford UK.

They will only mail it to you in the USA or Canada? Sounds like you need a volunteer to receive the info at their USA or Canada address, and then forward it on to you at your address in Scotland. But they would probably have to use their credit card with their USA address to buy the info correct? How much is it going to cost? How much does it usually cost to mail something from the US to Scotland?

Thumbs up

On the ford gear website the sheet costs $17 but im not shure how much it costs to post a letter from the us to the uk usually goes on weight or size some of you guys have got one through the post already can you give me any idea about size an weight would think its about the size of a standard letter if someone would like to order one for me and post it on ive got a papal account or i can send money on first to cover any costs
Thanks

Have you tried Ford's UK Division? Seems that would be easier and more direct.

You can also go to usps.com and see what it would cost a US resident to send a letter overseas.

I just noticed something....

This apparently is for a 1982 or 83, hasn't all that information been farmed out to Dennis Carpenter?

I still think it's best to contact Ford Owner Services in the UK.

Look under the seat, between the springs and the foam, to see if there is a build sheet. If not, look under the carpet. The build sheet will give you all the info you need - if you can find it.

And, I'll bet that was one of the trucks I used to meet on a B road around Northwood & Rickmansworth. Seems a lot of our service personnel imported their trucks, drove them around a while, and then sold them when they were transfered Stateside. Man, they sure looked big on those little roads.
