If I drop the sunroof it would have it in 4 weeks?

The reason I ask, is my order was put into the system supposedly on Sept. 21, or 22 and I still don't have a clue when it will be delivered. I spoke with the manager two weeks ago, and he said it had a VIN #. As of Sat. it still only had a VIN #. How can someone order a truck in OCT. and have it delivered in early DEC. and I'm still waiting with nothing but a VIN #?

My F250 has the 17" wheels, I ordered a Lariat 4X2 stretch cab, still haven't sold my crew cab 03 yet. Either everyone needs 4X4's or the timing is wrong with winter knocking at our door.
