San Jose run
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, 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.

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.

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...

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.

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.
