Re: Build Date?
The closest you will get is to use your VIN number by the assembly plant built and the consecutive build number and compare it to other trucks out there with the original blue build tag on the drivers door. But again you have to be comparing the same factory plant not just the consecutive number. Another way to narrow it to within a month or two is to compare casting numbers on your engine and rear end. If it is the original, you should have casting dates within up to about 6 weeks before the build date. And of course the engine is stamped with the assembly date of that motor so it also should be just before the assembly date. I have only found build sheets for Fremont, California built trucks in all the trucks I have ever seen. They were always found sandwiched between the seat spring and cushion on the passenger side of the seat if you look there.
