Default Assembly plant?

Does anyone know which trucks are built at each plant? Someone said the long beds are built at KC. Which plant builds the single cab units?
Thanks

When I worked at Dearborn Truck in '07/'08, long beds were made at KC due to the fact that the lifts and elevators at Dearborn were not long enough to handle the 8ft box. Now that Ford retooled Dearborn I don't know if this still holds true.

Not real timely info here:
My 5th grade class rode the train from Topeka to KC Ford plant in 1955 for our class trip (paid for via paper drive money-remember those?) and they were building Crown Vic sedans back then...
One of things I've never forgotten was watching a guy take a rubber mallet and beating windshield into position!
As a kid I couldn't understand why the glass didn't break?
