The Minnesota Vikings Edition.
The first 2 numbers decode to the Ford District Sales Office the dealer ordered the truck from. Could be 44 = Twin Cities MN
The last 4 numbers denote a Domestic Special Order.
No COLOR code on the Warranty Plate: Truck painted a non standard color per the original purchasers order, making it a Domestic Special Order.
It's probably painted Minnesota Vikings purple.
This is the 2nd time someone has had a purple Minnesota Vikings Edition, the other occurred around 8 years ago. I seem to recall that the truck was a 1969 F100.
To get the paint formula, the dealer contacts FoMoCo with the 6 numbered DSO. Ford looks up the number, passes the paint formula back to the dealer.
But now, Ford no longer has the records that cover all 1967/79 FoMoCo vehicles, and I doubt that the person that does (Kevin Marti of martiauto.com)...will have the paint formula.
In the late 1980's, Kevin Marti, a Mustang/Shelby "nut" in Phoenix AZ .. acquired all the 1967/79 FoMoCo records, when he found out that they were going to be THROWN AWAY!

70's F-series Viking Edition
More info. from the Build Sheet of my 75 F-150 Viking Edition:
Special Order 58-1392
Special Paint Option 02
Maaco used a computer to scan the purple inside the cab
to mix the paint for the entire body, box etc.
Perhaps the factory can research with this.
