My '80 W150's data plate on driver's door post was missing when I bought the truck. Is there anyway to tell the manufacture date of the truck without it?

Let me be more specific. How do you find out the production DATE of the truck...not the model YEAR of the truck. (Ex. 7/79, 7-13-79 or July 1979) I've already decoded the VIN. It doesn't provide that info.
I assume the data plate that was riveted to the door jamb(but removed before I bought it) had that info on it...? I was just wondering if it was in another location.
The fender tag of my'69 Super Bee uses code to show it as built Dec 3, 1968.

I believe the engine is the original factory... it and the intake have different dates but both are 1979. So, I will have to assume it's somewhat of an early '80 production model built in '79 sometime.
