Need Help Decoding My '57 F100 Vin and Build Sheet

Hey Guys!

Been working on my '57 F100 today (Check out my other thread for the build) and am trying to figure out my vin and also find my build sheet and need some help...

First, here is my vin number (If someone could decode it for me, I would really appreciate it!) : F10K7G17872

Also, under the date heading on the tag it says "24 D". Under transmission it says "A". What doe these mean?

Lastly, I am trying to locate the build sheet and cannot find it...I have looked under the mat and also under the seat. Is there any other place it may be hiding?

Any help would really be appreciated! Thanks, Taylor

F10 = F100
K = 272 2V medium duty
57 = 1957
G = Chicago

24D = 24 of April
A = 3 speed manual trans

If it's still there: Stuffed into the springs of the passenger side front seat cushion or below the passenger side of the floor mat.

Ok, Thanks. Have looked in both those places and it is not there so it must be gone.
