Got this from Ford
I sent Ford a letter asking for more info on my truck. 6 weeks later I got this. Kinda cool to see what options were installed on it.
This is the letter I sent if anyone wants to do the same.

To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing in regards to my 1978 Ford F250 truck VIN# F25SRBA7617. I wanted to know if you can provide me with VIN research report. I am interested in the original specifications and optional equipment installed on my truck. Your help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Sincerely,

I sent for my build sheet, but some of the info was not correct. They had the paint scheme wrong, and mine also showed tinted glass which it never had.

Since Ford sold all this EXACT info to Marti Auto (now martiauto.com) in the late 1980's, this is where the info really came from.
When people request the info from FoMoCo, Ford has to get it from Marti.
Notice that the word dual is mis-spelled...twice.

I sent off for mine a month ago...
I am still waiting...
I am thinking in 'bout 2-weeks it should come...
I like how they say "Left Hand Mounted-Midship Fuel Tank"
The reason I say this is because if its a Factory Ford Pick-Up its almost always going to be on the Left Hand side (unless its been converted by an owner,or it was a chassis cab and then had a stake-bed put on with tanks on both sides,which wouldn't probably wouldn't be factory.)
My father's '77 F-350 had 3-Tanks. (1-incab,1 on right side of bed and 1 on left side of bed).
But I'M not sure if this stake-bed on my father's '77 was factory (I think it was added on later,or put on by a dealer)
Sorry I am off-topic,I just thought it was funny,I have yet to see a truck with Right-side Tanks,that wasn't a previous owner's conversion.

It's free if you ask Ford, and you have to pay if you go through Marti.
