The rule of thumb is if a vehicle is built before April, it gets the current years model, after April, but before September, is the current model year and a 1/2, after September, it's next year's model....in the case of the 99's, Ford tagged them as a 99 for the entire year of 98 until April 99...
There you go....mystery solved.....

Then yours is missing. It should be near the ambulance tag. I also have the "not the ambulance prep package" disclaimer right next to my build tag.

My 06 was built 4-06 Have a buddy that has a '97 F-150 built mid '95 and has been confirmed it was the FIRST F150 4x4 ext cab to roll off the line, was shipped straight to Kicker (the speaker company) as a demo vehicle.

My '09 was built 3/09
I've found all kinds of stickers underneath and behind body panels with 2/26/09 marked on them. My best guess is my truck was assembled during the last part of February and shipped shortly thereafter. I took delivery on 3/14/09.

As for an owner' manual. If you don't care about the convenient one that fits in your glovebox, you can save/print out a copy of everything here:
http://www.flmowner.com/servlet/Cont...ifyVehiclePage
If you do want the glovebox edition, go here:
http://www.helminc.com/helm/homepage...=f&oq=&aqi=g10
Helm, Inc., is the company that does all the manuals for Ford (including service manuals). If you want the official printing, then it's there.
I hope this is what you were looking for.

I would call Ford (http://www.ford.com/owner-services/c...t/contact-ford) and ask them if you can get another sticker. I don't remember who I contacted at Ford when I bought mine (used), but I got a build sheet for my truck sent to me for free.
