There was a website you could put in the Von number and find out but not sure what it is.

the best I have been able to find is the month/ year.. look inside the driver's side door... on the frame. My 97 was manufactured in 10/96.

Most powerstroke stuff is categorized by engine serial number. i.e. before/after a certain number. The number is stamped into the block right behind the oil cooler.
