When was it built?

Hey y'all,

I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to find out the exact day my truck was built. I read in one of the posts that '98 model trucks built after 1-15-98 should not have the gasket problem. I have a '98 with the 4.2L and would like to know when it was built (for a little peace of mind) btw, '98 f150XL 4.2L 5spd reg. cab short bed with 36,000mi. on the clock. Thanks a bunch!
