Ford F series, light truck trivia

Just thought I'd try something new and post a 24 question, trivia brain teaser.
Wonder how many you can get correct without "looking" elsewhere?

I will post my answers tomorrow and hope my research is correct.

I just know, however, some of you experts will find something incorrect. Look forward to the corrections.

Some pretty easy, others more thought provoking.

What the heck... Just for fun.
Enjoy.l

#19 - Windsor, Ontario, Canada (across the river from Detroit)

I believe that's the only complete answer that I know for sure.

I have a few additional for which "I think".

What were the B series vehicles? How about the P series?
these are the cab and chassis and ice cream trucks. normally had a hood cowl and firewall but no doors or roof sometimes a wind shield.

What decade was the Twin I Beam and Crew Cab introduced?
I would say the traditional crew cab would be the 60's but i know they had some bigger cabs in the 50's but i think those only had 2 or 3 doors.

Ford’s SVT team introduced what vehicle in 1993?
Lighting?

I'll take a stab at #9 as being the 2.3L I-4, only because I had one.

# 15 False If i remember right portions of the factories for the mod motors are modular not the motors themselves.

# 16 is 1965 for both the Twin I suspension and the crewcab. Before that the crew cabs were coach built.

11) Which F series tranny has a PTO option? What else is required when ordering the PTO option?
The first answer is the 6R140. The second part I'm not sure, but it might be only on cab/chassis configurations.

Yep, the Ranger XLT was top of the line and because of the intro of the smaller Ranger truck, they discontinued its use as a trim pkg.
