Tall Paul - I went over that confirmation order form with a fine tooth comb! I forced myself to verify every code and description. The orders are a little funky... I got told that's just the way they do it! I bugged the heck out the salesman to prove that things were included in option packages... made him earn his commission

)I was lucky enough to get a complete list for the '05 F350 Model when I first went in to the dealer. They provided me with a 13 page printout of all the major product changes and all the options & descriptions along with order codes. It was fun placing the order and knowing more about what options were available with what combinations than the salesman. Then they made me review and sign off on the order with all those codes... guess they didn't want what happened to Paul... and if it does they can say I signed it off!

their IT people. There's no excuse for a forward-looking, modern corporation to be using an antiquated system like that.

edit: on a DORA, it'll show F350 Crew Cab/156 (or 172). It's about buried in the middle of the page. For a Chebbie, line 1 will read CK35943 1-Ton Crew Cab 4X4 8' Box 167" WB. GM's made the acknowledgements a lot easier to proof read.
