From the looks of the various dates in this post and on the WS, you knew what your build week and (approx) build date was on 4/20, when you got the WS. Where sis you find those? My WS (1FT7W2BT5HED79253) was printed on 5/10, but I cant find the dates anywhere.
Look at the bottom of the sticker under the words 'Special Order'
It's showing 5/9/2017. I've heard this is usually pretty accurate, within a day or 2. I've read here though that it will change after it is initially 'dated' and will reflect the actual build date after it is actually built. So it's really not etched in stone probably at this point.

As I posted above, Build happed 7-8 days following the W/S date. Following that outline (above/previous page of this post) you can determine when things happen.
Below are details about my window sticker to help you understand.
My W/S date is 4/19/2017 and I will highlight that date in all 3 snips. It was available for online viewing as of 4/20/2017 as the date in the white section shows.
This was the update after the truck was built, my build date was 4/26/2017 and the bottom date updated the next day.
I got another bottom date change that showed up the day after my truck was switched from CSX train to a BNSF train.
And I expect another date change when the truck is delivered, but that is speculation at this point...

I'm at the point now where I take a shot of vodka and do a small prayer every time I refresh the Cotus site.
Like a lot of you guys, I'm spending my time watching youtube vids of the truck (I've seen 100% of them more than once) ordering parts and trying to stay busy.
The only thing I do most days before peeing and making coffee, is checking on the status of my order.
I don't think I was this anxious when my first born was 10 minutes from delivery... well it's close anyway.
Love the pics coming in. My truck should also look identical to the blue jeans one posted earlier.

Looks great, at least yours will fit in garage from pics yesterday, mine is just a bit too long, my Colorado place will have a garage that fits when I get there in 3 years...

Post away guys, I know those of us waiting (I'm speaking for you all I guess, lol) love to see pics. Actually the pics help me relax, gives me something to look at other than refreshing the BNSF tracking took and seeing nothing happening to my truck just sitting in the rail yard waiting on transport.

It looks like whenever they unload yours (it was like 3 hours after they assigned mine a bay before it was unloaded) your truck with be in U44 and mine is in V72, lol...
***EDIT***
It looks like they unloaded your truck and parked it @ 1:54 (barely over an hour from assigning it a spot)
I guess that may because your truck was in spot B1 of the train car and mine was in B2 of my car, lol...

Vin is = 1FT7W2B62HED85473
The 'vin decoder' site that is auto hyperlinked isn't totally accurate regarding my build for some reason, but it comes up in ETIS and Cotus accurately. No window sticker yet, but maybe in the next couple days. I ordered on 4/20 so I'm not expecting a lot of movement on this till next week. I've been in the 'first ring of hell' / order processing since the vin was issued. Seems like I'm still on schedule I think.
