@NumberDummy hasn't logged on for a while now. Even his books didn't go to 2005. Mine don't either. This forum is for 1961-1966 trucks. You might see if your fellow era truck owners can help at the below forum section for 2004-2008 F150s.

Post moved.

For the 17 digit VIN, you can decode those through several on-line decoders such as:

https://www.blueovaltrucks.com/tech/...-VIN-Guide.pdf

You can go through that but it's quite tedious and after all that you will not have the front axle info as it is not included in the VIN.

It is listed on your white plastic certification label where the axle codes are towards the bottom right side.

Your axle should also have a tag on it, affixed via one of the bolts holding the cover on.

And since you are now in this forum, someone familiar with these might be by with the answer.

What are you trying to determine about the differential?

Axle information is not encoded in the VIN. It's on the door jamb label instead, under the word "AXLE.

Unless someone has access to to as-built or Monroney data, the VIN isn't going to help.
