The year of the truck along with the VIN without the last four numbers would help out a lot.
The VIN:
By looking at the seventeen-digit VIN number a variety of information about the vehicle can be determined. The first three digits identify the manufacturer and the vehicle make and type. The fourth digit determines the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR-Class) and Brake System for Ford completed Trucks and MPV's. For Buses and incompleted vehicles, the fourth digit determines the brake system (only). Digits five, six and seven identify the model or line, series, chassis, and cab or body type. The eighth digit points out the particular engine found in the vehicle. Digit nine is the VIN check digit. The tenth digit identifies the model year of a Ford-completed vehicle, or the model year of the incomplete vehicle, if sold by Ford as an incomplete vehicle. The eleventh digit determines the assembly plant. Digits twelve through seventeen make up the sequence serial and warranty number. Digit twelve uses the letter A until the production or sequence of 99,999 units (digits thirteen through seventeen) is reached. Letter A then becomes B for the next production sequence of vehicles.
Vehicle Data
The Vehicle Data appears on the Safety Compliance Certification Label on the second and third lines following the identification number. The code set (two numbers or a number and letter) above COLOR identify the exterior paint color (two sets of codes designate a two-tone). The three digits under WB designate the wheelbase in inches. The letter and three digits under TYPE/GVWR designate the truck model within a series and the gross vehicle weight rating. The letters and/or numeral under BODY designate the interior trim, seat and body type. The transmission installed in the vehicle is identified under TRANS by an alphabetical code. A letter and a number or two numbers under AXLE identify the rear axle ratio (when required, a letter is also stamped or number after the rear axle code to identify the front axle). The letters and/or numerals under TAPE designate the external bodyside tape stripe. The spring usage codes for the vehicle is identified under SPRING.
A two-digit number is stamped above DSO to identify the district which ordered the vehicle. If the vehicle is built to special order (Domestic Special Order, Foreign Special Order, Limited Production Option or other special order), the complete order number will also appear above DSO. The following charts list the various vehicle data codes.

Thanks Conanski.
Yes, I do know how to use the search but it is very picky so by me using door tag instead of door sticker it didn't give me that link. The search within the forum is strange and most times you get so many hits its difficult to find what you are actually looking for.
But thank you. Sometimes I end up with more questions than I had to start with...
