Door tag
So looking to see the original color of my truck and saw the is no letter/number stamped on the vin tag. Truck is original paint in and out as far as I can tell (Silver). Anyone else seen this?

If there's no COLOR code stamped on the Warranty Plate, the DSO code (3rd line-far right) contains 6 digits.
The first 2 digits decode to the Ford District Sales Office the truck was ordered from.
The last 4 digits denote a Domestic Special Order. Truck ordered special by the original purchaser, not "bought off the lot."
No COLOR code: The truck was painted a non standard color, making it a Domestic Special Order.
If the truck needed to be repainted, the dealer contacted FoMoCo with the 6 digit DSO. FoMoCo looked up the order number, passed the paint formula back to the dealer.
