Build date question

I have a cab and frame from a F250 4x4.The only "documentation" I have is the sticker on the door jamb which is pretty difficult to read. The build date is 10 77. Would that be a 78 model? (The tag on the firewall is gone)
Thanks in advance.
Greg

I think so, my '76 has a build date of 12 '75. 78 seems to make sense to me

What are the last 6 digits of the VIN# ?
Knowing that I can probably narrow it down to the week.

You can always send the VIN to Ford of Canada, and they'll send you a sheet saying the day it was built and what options it had. Not quite a build sheet, but good enough for me. Do some digging for the "build sheet from Ford" thread.

BTW, my 79 was built on Feb 15 1979.
