Howdy,


The best thing that you could do is go to this website:

http://www.fordvehicles.com/help/contact/

You can either call or email Ford from the information on the page there.

Ask them for a BUILD SHEET.

Give them your Vin Number, and all of the codes located on your safety Certification lable. Axle Code, Body Code, Paint code etc... And in about a month or two you will get a letter from Ford with all the information you require.

Information they list are,

Trim Level
Original options the truck had new.
What type tires it had new. wheel options.
DSO options
Seat color and trim
Interior color
exterior color

Just to name a few.

No, there was no fee when I did it a year ago now.


Here is what was listed in my Buildsheet.

=========

1981 F-150 / 4.9L Inline 6 with EFI / 4-speed O.D. / GVWR 5001 - 6000

(The EFI and 4-speed overdrive although listed in my build sheet is wrong. It never had EFI too old, and it has a T-18 4 speed instead of 4-speed O.D. other than that it's very acurate.)

It was built in San Jose California on 11/26/1980 with the following options.

- 133" Wheelbase
- Explorer Package A:
Explorer Tri Tape Stripe - Light Orange/ Brown / Light Chamois
Explorer Nameplate
Explorer Hood Ornament
Bright Rear Window Moulding
Wheelip Mouldings
Mag Style Wheel Covers
Chrome Grille
Chrome Tailgate Handle
Knitted Vinyl Seat with Nutmeg trim
- Stylside Pickup
- Ammetter & Oil Guage
- 4 Speed Manual Overdrive Transmission
- 2.75 Non Locking Rear Axle
- P215 / 75R X 15 SL WSW Tires
- Power Steering
- 9X6 Dual Chrome Swinglock Low Mount Mirrors
- AM/FM Stereo Radio
- Optional Fuel Tank with Standard Tank
- Dark Caramel Metalic Exterior Color
- Nutmeg Color Trim
- Exterior Reduced Sound Package
- All Around Tinted Glass (Carlite Sun X)

=========

Very comprehensive. Your truck may have a lot more or a lot less info depending on Ford's records.

hope this helps....

What year is it. If it isn't too old your Ford dealer parts dept can most likely tell you. I'm betting it is an option tag. Listing options, trim, colors, etc.
