Ok, who is up for a San Jose run? Everyone who has trucks made at the San Jose plant should go back to their trucks birthplace at least once in its life.

Just kidding, I am bored at work, and had to post something

 

Lol, I don't know where my '04 F150 was made, I wasn't aware that any were made in San Jose, I thought the only plant was the old GM plant in Fremont, that turned into Numi(sp)?

 

Oh, and get back to work.

 

LOL, my VIN specifically states it was made in San Jose. Of course it also states it has a 360 2bbl, but for some reason when I measured my engine it came out to a 460 with a 4bbl. (Ever try to measure an engine when it is 45 degrees outside? Brrr)

PS: I am in a rare holiday mood, work is slow-peeps don't want to call in for tech support on Christmas Eve I guess.

 

this guy i work with in his mid 50's says he worked at the san jose ford plant . he said it is now the milpitas mall

 

What? No more San Jose plant? AAARRRGGHHHH. Ok, so I guess the San Jose runs is cancelled then.

 

Oh...now i rememeber...I think I recall them talking about it when they were going to build "The Great Mall".

 

Good God, that's where my Ex-wife works and lives!.

small world...

 

Hey now, don't be getting any of them "drop by the mall and pick up a present" nooky feelings

 

My '68 was built in San Jose...

BTW, you can send a request to Ford for the Build Sheet for your truck. I did, pretty cool. Not 100 percent correct though from what I can tell...

 

Naw,

For one it's to darn far from where I live. 200 miles or better.

And for two, her boyfriend/Fiancee, wouldn't like it too well.

It's interesting this last revelation, cause technically we are still married.

But anyway, she isn't worth the trouble to even buy a can of potted meat for.


I was more disapointed to hear about the San Jose Truck Plant.

 

I did the same thing for my 1981 F-150.

It was pretty acurate. Except the 4.9L Inline six I have is NOT fuel injected.

It also said it had a Clark 4 speed overdrive when it has a T-18. But the certificate code matches the build sheet. The tranny was supposedly swaped at the dealer. I knew the original owner.

 

And how would someone "get" this build sheet info?

I have an '81 F150.

 

I thought I had the site bookmarked but I can't find it now, and a Google search isn't turning it up either. I found it from a link somewhere and was able to fill in the VIN and other pertinent info right on the website, and they sent me a hard copy six or eight weeks later. No charge.

 

A build sheet for my truck? Now that would be cool
