X15 = F150 2WD Super Cab
The Warranty Plate is located on the left door face below the latch.
Ppl swapped left doors due to accidents, and forgot to swap over the Warranty Plate = the major reason why the VIN on the Warranty Plate doesn't match the VIN on the registration.
1977/79 Warranty Plates have the specific year stamped on them. The year appears on the second line of the plate.
btw: The last "High Boy" was produced in 1977 before serial number Y20,001 = what some refer to as 1977.5.
The serial number is the last 6 digits of the VIN.

Lukeg, Does yours have power steering? That is the easist way for me to tell if the frame is highboy or 77.5-79. The 77.5-79 has a power steering gear box not the power sleeve, and the box is on the inside (in the engine compartment not on the outside) of the frame. That is the first thing I look at if it has power steering and a dead give away.
