Build date
I was looking at the window sticker of my '19 F150. At the bottom in a block that says "TOTAL MSRP", below it is "SPECIAL ORDER" and below that "JM122N RB 2X 920 003342 12 12 18'. Could the 12 12 18 be the build date?

No, look at the top of your sticker and it will say BLEND with numbers above it. That is your build date. Disregard the first number and then should be year, month and day of your build.

Not on this sticker. There is a block that says "vehicle description" to the right is another number small KK and then larger C46301. It was ordered in November so a 12/12/18 build date would be in the ballpark. I picked it up 1/15/19. It has factory spray-in bed liner so the truck was moved from factory to where this was done.

Interesting! My sticker doesn't have the line above the green block and it hasn't been cut off because you can still see the rounded corners.

The number below MSRP and Ford Credit the last 6 numbers are basically same as blend/build date. When looking at trucks on the lot or online this date will be there. Gives you an idea of how long a vehicle has been at a dealership.

In the example above that I posted, the date listed on the bottom of my window sticker is 1-23-19 and my new truck has a blend (build date) date of 1-30-19.
I also have the sticker on a 2011 F150 I had a few years ago and just checked it and it's window sticker is dated 4-19-11 and has a blend (build date) date of 5-4-11.
If you go to any Ford Dealership online and pull up a window sticker on a new F150 you can compare the two dates and the blend (build date) is a few days afterwards. Hope this helps to clarify the difference in the two dates.

I don't know. My window sticker has a blend date of 11/11/2018. I found a sticker on the truck Ford forgot to remove and it has a lot of info on it.
It has a date of 11/10/18 and a time of 5:03 PM. It also has the following on it:
MODEL: LIM
CAB: CC
TRIM: LEA
COLOR: JT3
OPTION: (BLANK)
OPT 7: H
ARM: ARM
RIB: RIB
ITEM: KL3B COSTRRB AFA
Seq#: 3156408
IBN#: 3152
BCODE: 9RCML - - - - HEAY - - - -
2ND: B
SA4054646~9RCML3----HEAY----B~3152~3156408
XF552RN3
I don't know what all this means, some is obvious, like LIM= Limited - CC - Crew Cab, but the date and time sure looks like it was in production the day before the blend date.
I know the color code on the door jamb for the exterior paint code is not JT3, but UG. So this may be the inside trim?
On the door jamb I do have 2201811116408 which indicates 11/11/2018, so my guess is this was a part gathering sticker, and the final completion date was 11/11/2018.

The date under the words " Special Order ", is the date the production order was sent to the plant.
The " Blend Date ", which you can only see on the internet copy of the window sticker, is the day the truck was produced..
