Try this link:

It is a manual decode, meaning it's NOT a "enter the VIN and it's automatic", but a good resource.....Once there, Ford starts on page 79.

I appreciate all of your help and info y'all. And I appreciate your time and patience. This has definitely been a push in the right direction. I got this F150 2 weeks ago for $780 pretty much, has a rebuilt T170FT and pretty much all new parts in and out. 6,000 miles on rebuild, 230,000 on body, owner before me over carbureted it by 200 CFM with a 625 Street Demon 4BBL and put a not so good offenhauser DP Intake on it. Been somewhat of a nightmare just to get her tuned to 17 inches of volume.
Id love to trade it and go back to factory.
