Heres the photos guess its my new jet pack not working like it should be why I couldn't log in last night.



I will be doing some research today to decode the rest of my data tag as I know some of it but I noticed theres some codes ive never seen before and I currently do not have the 1982 Ford dealership shop manuals for the DSO codes but I can get that when I get around to purchasing the set.

Also as can be seen in the photo you can see the pinstriping is actually dark blue with a light blue middle didn't see that only a dark blue with medium blue center.

 

Your certification label doesn't specify tape stripes nor springs, both designations started appearing "sometime later" is all I remember. Go look at the label on Gary's uploaded version of the Ford cert label decoding at Certification Label - Gary's Garagemahal

 

Ah ok thanks for that. I thought maybe I wasn't seeing something as I looked and looked but couldn't find anything on tape codes. That's like I don't even know if they mixed two types of stripes together or not. I mean these are factory tapes as they are not peeling off like aftermarket ones do and they are die cut.

I will also check the link out, I know of Garys site but with my windows 10 upgrade I haven't been able to relocate where all my links are stored at.

 

That link I gave you will let you decode your certification label, no books required... click on the blue squares at the bottom of the example image and ye shall receive oodles of information.
He put a LOT of work into this, I hope it works for you.

There's no TAPE code on the OP's truck, but the springs are two digit codes V & H .. V for the front, H for the rear.

Spring codes appear on the Certification Label beginning from production date 3/81.

 

Ah, ok, thank you... you must be bored.

 

All you need to reattach the emblems is double sided trim tape from 3m or Norton

 

I hate to resurrect a dead post, but in my searching I found this and have some questions. Referring to post #25 up above, where do the Type 17 badges go? And what trim levels were they on? Was it just anything 4WD or certain trim levels?
