DSO = Stamped on the 3rd line-far right of the Warranty Plate.

DSO 71 = Los Angeles (SoCal) Ford District Sales Office, where the original selling dealer ordered the truck from.

Note: It's possible that the left quarter panel was replaced at some point, because the replacement bought at the parts counter came with both fuel filler openings, whether it had 2 tanks or not.

The fuel door was sold separately.

D4LY-65405A26-A .. Fuel Filler Door: 1974/76 Continental Mark IV / 1977/79: F100/350 Styleside, Bronco & Continental Mark V

Where's the pic of the tail gate you were going to post? No see um.

Thanks Bill I looked briefly last night for Tha a compressor and misc. Under hood parts and surprisingly rock auto popped up and had a a few of the parts.

On another note I've read several posts on frame rail widths. So I measured mine last night and it's 34 inches where the bumper and receiver mount to the Frame. Is the same width as the rest of the 73-79 trucks or is it a special width I'm going to play hell find a bumper and other parts for like an axle?

There were two completely different dealer installed A/C's. Here's the other at left (Deluxe) that was combined with the heater. Right lower pic shows the "Hang-On" glove box.
