![]() ![]() ![]() Most peeps are unaware that the Mazda CX-9 is also the same under the skin, and what these were based on originally.Īll 1968/79 Crew Cabs assembled there, regardless of where they were sold new. My last truck (79 F100) was also assembled there.Įxcepting the "box on a box" Flex, all these are basically the same. They do the Edge, Flex, Lincoln MKX and the new MKT. Oddly enough, I live 100 miles from the plant that built it.the company I work for delivers freight to there the odd time. When I initially got it, my insurance company was giving me a hard time because the VIN didn't begin with F1xxxxxxxxxx because it was Canadian built. Thank you for that info.I was sort of clear on it. I drove by it awhile back when it was assembling Windstars.Ī = Gross Vehicle Weight Rating range: 3,600-5,000 lbs. In case you're wondering what 4991028L-229951 A decodes to:Ģ8 = 128.8" Wheelbase (usually referred to as 129").Ģ29951 = 1965 Numerical Sequence of Assembly ~ Oakville, Ontario Canada Truck Assembly Plant. No one has any of the plugs, but Don (camperspecial65) prolly has dozens of used ones. So, don't assume that if your truck has 4 ways, that it's genuine Ford. Have lotsa fun figuring out which is which, because it's a FIASCO!ītw: Western Auto, Sears, NAPA, JC Whitney and etc all sold "gypo" universal "fitz-all" kits. Then there's this little charmer, similar to 1965/66 Passenger Cars, 1967 F100/350's: The whole enchilada, flasher, (toggle) switch is mounted inside the glove box on a bracket, there is no lens.Įxamples are shown here: 1964/72 Ford Truck Parts Catalog / Illustration Section 145.2 ~ Pages 1 thru 10. Some dealers would install whatever 'ol kit they had in stock, "make it work." So, if this is the case, add FOUR more switches to the mish-mash, the types used 1961/64 and for Econolines.ġ966: There are two types of factory installed switches, depends on the trucks serial number (last 6 digits of the VIN).ġ965/66 switches mounted en dash: One type has no red lens / Another type has the red lens separate from the switch, mounted next to it in the dash (this type is the most commonly seen).Īnother type has a **** w/a red lens incorporated within it / Another type has the red lens mounted to an underdash bracket. It depends if factory or dealer installed, 2WD or 4WD. The clock pod could be purchased and swapped later.1965/66: There are EIGHT different types of 4 way emergency flasher switches. Would hate for you to think of it after putting the thing all back together. Since your dashboard is off now, the opportunity to lay in wiring exists, that's all. Just be sure to get the '65 as it differs from mine (which I pointed out in my first post what with the middle toggle). ![]() The clock pod swap itself is simple and those are sold all the time. (Off-topic: the door-ajar system on your 65 is a half-way decent mechanism compared to 64, and the wiring is relatively simple.) Or, you could save them for future "Rubik's cubes". The door-ajar system could be ignored as well as the door locks they could just be there and look pretty. You then have the challenge of replicating the wiring needed to activate the flasher system, which would be a time-consuming task, but with your technical mind and available wiring schematics, you could handle it. The middle clock pod can be swapped for one from a parts car containing the option. You might have an option about the emergency flasher depending on whether you want to deviate from your build sheet. ![]()
