That's a good question. I'm not sure when Ford started releasing trucks in the fall.
Do you have a tag like the one above on your glove box door? And if so is the UNIT number low (ie 10345) or high (ie 25557)?
I'm not sure. One of the "Fridge Guys" will know.
In the mean time I'll bump this up for you.
If you don't get an answer, send a PM to "Col Flashman" He'll know.

Old vehicle production usually ends in late July or early August. New vehicle production usually begins in August, because new vehicles historically have been introduced in September.
The following [F350] VIN decoding refers to 1957/60 only. 1948/56 & 1961/80 are not the same.
The first 3 digits of the VIN is the Series code. F35 = F350 / The 4th digit of the VIN is the Engine code. C = 292 2V / D = 292 4V / J = 223 I-6.
The 5th digit of the VIN is the Year code. 1959 = 9 / 1960 = 0
The 6th digit of the VIN is the Assembly Plant code. The last 5 digits of the VIN is the Numerical Sequence of Assembly-specific vehicle serial number.
There is no Year code after 1960. 1961/80: The year is determined by the SIX digit Numerical Sequence of Assembly.
