Coincidence that each one so far is 1976 or is the F130 only a 1976 model.

I have a warranty plate (no truck to go with it) that has the F130 and the DSO code 54. I wish I had the truck to go with the plate, but I found it off a door at a junkyard and figured I'd keep it just to have proof that such thing did exist.

As each one comes to light I have written down each one's info.
All (5) have been San Jose and 1 so far is Omaha.

The Marti Report comes in three versions. The "standard" is $15.00, the "deluxe" is $40.00 and the "elite" is $200.00
They will also custom research, as I recall, that's billed at $60.00/HR.

Ok,, got the Marti Report,,, it is listed as a F130 - "F150 Special Pickup Truck 6050lb GVW" was a FLEET order, from Bill Smith Motors in Sanger, CA, and I have to say for 40 bucks,, I am somewhat disappointed,,, no special breakdown on the F130,, no - your truck is one of 50 made in the F130 VIN,,, nothing notable whatsoever,,,, 
hell I know all the options,,, I can see them,,, oh well,, guess I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up for anything,,,, $40 bucks worth of Beer,, down the drain!
