Marti did not have the Emminger invoice for the 85 TXDPS car so I just now placed an order thru Marti Auto Works for a deluxe Marti Report and a replacement door tag for the car. I will post photos of it when it arrives. I noted on my order the car should have a six digit dso number associated with it. The approximate shipping date for the order is 8/18.

As for adding a replacement door tag. I have no issues with it especially if the information is backed up with a Marti Report verifying it is authentic information. I would rather have a replacement door tag, than no door tag at all.

Your Deluxe Report will have the DSO and should have the dealer info, and also six different dates...

Order Date (order received from dealer)
Car Serialized (assigned a VIN)
Bucked (bare chassis formed)
Scheduled Build (best estimate for build)
Actually Built (day car began assembly on Trim & Chassis line)
Released (assembly plant released to truck/rail for delivery to dealer)
Sold (retail customer purchased)

If you do not have the original label there will not be LB/KG weights or Fxxxx and Rxxxx numbers (accessory reserve loads) on the reproduction label, as those were not recorded by Ford so Marti Auto will not have them.

I have emailed them the spring rates and LB/KG information thanks for the help.

Yes, forgot about the springs. Those will also not be on the repro VC Label unless you supply the codes.

Fxxxx and Rxxx are not springs codes or springs rates. Those are the front (F) and rear (R) accessory reserve loads (reserve expressed in lbs., e.g. F0039 and R0065). They are different on every car, except for instances where they were from the same DSO special order and therefore probably identically equipped. For SSPs in the '85 model year I have seen...

F0105 and R0174 (FF206189)
F0112 and R0174 (FF206373)
F0112 and R0174 (FF206378)
F0107 and R0171 (FF227465)
F0111 and R0177 (FF234864)
F0111 and R0177 (FF234866)
F0111 and R0177 (FF234932)

The springs codes are the last four characters of the "TR" code. If you have a build sheet but not a door tag, I have figured out what they should be on the door tag. For SSPs in the '85 model year, I have seen springs codes BBAA and BBSS...

Front Spring
B (VCL) = MOV (build sheet)

Rear Springs
A (VCL) = MIB (build sheet)
S (VCL) = MIL (build sheet)

Hope this information is helpful.
