05 MY order bank opens 5/3/04 (Job 1 7/19/04) On the Super duty F series trucks
05 MY order bank opens same dates for the Excursions

I also found out the last build job dates for 04 model year trucks is 7/3/04 for the SD and 7/2/04 for the X, Thats going to be a fast retool to make all those changes ????

but those are the dates shown on ford fleet.
