What are the "Build Sheet" Codes?

I just bought a used 1990 F250 4X4 and the build sheet was still under the seat. Yes it was a bit tattered and torn with rust stripes going through it from the seat wires, but nevertheless it was there. I would really like to know what my truck came from the factory with. Does any one know where I can get any info on this?

Thanks!

I sent an email to Ford Customer service to see if I could get a copy of the window sticker for my truck and they had me send them the vin# and then told me what dealer it originally came from. They said I would have to contact the original dealer to get a copy of it. Haven't done it yet though. www.qualitycareservice.com Good luck, Ben

Post everything from the data plate.
I can tell you lots about the Data plate information.
Let's just hope it's the original door/data plate !

Hey thanks Chuck! That's sure a lot more than I had. By the way do you know if the rear axle is Ford or Dana?

Thanks,
Clif

Looks like your axle is a 10.25" Sterling (Ford) axle in back, and being that you have a 4WD, your front is the Dana 44 IFS-HD axle. This, of course, assumes that nobody has swapped axles before you got a hold of that truck!

Glad to help!
Chuck

I found mine under the front seat, between the spring and the foam - passenger side. But then my truck was made in Canada.

Hope this helps.....

I emailed them and they sent me a message back the next day. They've been pretty helpful to me. Maybe you should try and email them again.

Go to: https://www.ownerconnection.com/FormsLoginSSL.asp?Make=Unbranded&Model=default&L=4 9&N=840 and register if you have not and then go to contact us at the top right of the screen. You'll then go to a new screen and go to the bottom and click on email. That will take you to a new screen and it's self explanitory from there.
