Build sheet location?

Does anyone know where FoMoCo hid the build sheet on my 96 SWB?

I am not sure Ford did this as I have never found or seen one for a light duty (up to one ton) truck. I have found line sheets for the larger Louisville line of trucks. I am curious as to this too, so we shall see if someone answers this with more knowledge.

Found the one for my '77 F100 under the seat, in the springs. Found a couple pieces, what the rats didnt get, under the seat of my '77 F250. Ive run across a few late 80s that were behind the seat, piled in with trash.

I looked everywhere on this truck of mine-cant find a build sheet. I have found it on all of my other vehicles-but not the F150!!

If anyone found a factory build sheet on a early 90s F series-let us know where you found it in the cab.

I will take a look with a mirror and flashlight and see if it is up there. I have looked before-but I may have missed it. Was it on the driver's side of the bench seat? Could you post a picture of your build sheet?

Sorry for the late reply. Out helping lady in distress. I don't have any pics for you. It was in the middle if the bench seat clost to the back. It was folded up. All I did was fold the seat forward and start fishing around with my hand and found it.

I checked under the seat of my 95 f250 and it seems to be gone. I am the 4th owner so I don't know if it was there and was removed or if it was ever there. I hope Leavy20 can come up with that e-mail addy. I wish I had known about this a long time ago. With all the trucks I've owned I could have started a wall of fame.

I looked as well and found nothing.
On standard cabs alot of stuff gets shoved under the seat so I imagine that it just got yanked out.

If you want a list of all factory installed options---

Try this URL:

https://secure.ford.com/footer/conta...eServiceIssues

I emailed Ford several years ago and they gave me a complete list of all of the factory installed options and the actual day of manufacture.

This will not be an actual build sheet-because they will not give you a factory codes for each option-it will be listed in regular English and will not be in the build sheet format.

Ford needs the VIN, of course, and your snailmail address-because Ford will only snailmail you the option information on your vehicle.I think that it took two weeks to get a response back from Ford on their official Ford letterhead letter.

ok well i just recieved an automated response stating i will have my answer in two bussiness days. here is the email address i found

crcfmc@ford.com

i found it in another forum though i cant remember where though.

make sure you write what you want to know i basicly said i want a build sheet.

give vehicle details and vin#

and lastly return contact info.

i wrote my name address phone# and email.

though this doesn't mean it will work i will find that out in two days i guess. and post more.

*Added 8/9*
i recieved a message back they are forwarding my request to research department. and i should be contacted in 2 days regarding getting the sheet and how they can get it to me. so i highly suggest this route.
