Dual Battery

Since this covers several model years, I will post this here. How many years (from XX to XX) did Ford offer the Dual Battery option for F-Series Trucks. I know it shows up in the owners manual's from at least 74-81. But those are the only years I have manual's for.

I know that. What I'm talking about is the dual battery set-up for campers that Ford offered. It included anything from a 65 to 81 amp hour battery, relay to disconnect it from the truck charging system when the truck was off and then re-connected it when the truck was running, so you could run camper stuff without draining the main starting battery. It was an option on light duty F-Series trucks. I want to know what years they offered the option! That's all. Number Dummy would probably know, but I don't know if he reads these posts.
