Re: How long should I expect?
Okay, "build date" is not necessarily your build date. March 8th is a Monday- whenever Ford gives a Monday as a build date, it means it will be built THE WEEK of that Monday. So, your truck will actually be built somewhere between the 8th and the 12th. If all goes well, you'll see your vehicle 10 days- 2weeks after the build date. In a few rare cases, it takes longer.

I ordered my F350, CC, DRW, 6.0 on 02/05/04 & on the 20th they gave me my VIN#. I called the VOPC (Vehicle Order Process Center <!-- -->) gave them my Dealer #, Body style # & Order# & my trk is being built this week & delivery is expected the wk of March 15th.

VOPC says my truck was produced (3/29) and released yesterday (3/30). However, It does not give a delivery date anymore. Up until this morning, the delivery date was "week of 4/12". Has anyone else noticed the VOPC not giving the delivery date after releasing the truck? Just curious. I'm pretty pleased with the turnaround on this order so far. It looks like I may have the truck in under 5 weeks total.
