Manufacture date
There are two ways you could do this:
1. Run the VIN number... there are a number of places on the web that do this.
2. There is sticker on the drivers side door, or door post... can't remember off the top of my head, that has the date of manufacture on it... but I think this only gives the month and year.

The door sticker doesn't appear to have any info about day of the week. Here's the door sticker guide: https://www.ford-trucks.com/articles/2003/9.php
I don't think Carfax does the manufacture date either, maybe there is another service that can do it.
I'm interested in finding out about my truck as well.

I found this site a while ago for Ford vehicles... check it out.

The site won't tell you when it was made. If I remember correctly, it is stamped on the radiator support of the passenger side of the vehicle. Here's what my '96 shop manual says:
"The vehicle build date is a four-digit number representing month and day of manufacture. It is stamped on the front surface of the radiator support on the passenger side of the vehicle.
For a build date of January 24, for example, the vehicle date stamp reads 0124; for a build date of October 21, the vehicle date stamp reads 1021.
Yellow ink is normally used for the date stamp. When the marking surface is painted the body color, red ink will be used for the date stamp. Units from the Ontario Truck Plant (Code C) will be marked with silver ink."
I hope this answers your question.
