Looking for build date

I am just wondering where I can find the build date for my '06? Couldn't find it in the paperwork anywhere, is there somewhere on the truck that has it?

I do believe that date is the ENGINE BUILD DATE. I'll have to look for the Truck Build Date after I get home....

Nope. My new '06 F-250 has the build date printed on the sticker attached to the door. Although, it is just the month & year. 03/06, in my case.
