production numbers

I have a 79 f150 lariet trailer special. I was wanting to get it appraised so I was trying to look up production numbers and factory options that mine has but I can find nothing online about trailer specials.

Btw, it's "Lariat".

I don't recall production numbers ever being published. If you're really interested, order a "Marti Report" from Marti Auto Works. He has the Ford production database and can run a query which breaks down how common (or uncommon) your truck was configured. .. for a price, of course.

That is because it isn't factory. There was no fire extinguisher option.

Trailer Special is nothing more than a towing option:

Quote:

There were 2 categories for the Trailer Special.

Light duty trailer towing package:
Good for towing up to 2,000lbs.
This package included a heavy duty radiator, external oil cooler, seven lead trailer harness, heavy duty turn signal flasher and the Trailer Special emblem on the T-gate.

Heavy duty trailer towing package:
Good for towing up to 6,000lbs.
This package included a heavy duty alternator, heavy duty battery, HD rear shocks, bigger radiator, rear sway bar, swing out recreational mirrors, amp meter, oil pressure gauge, HD front springs, external oil cooler and the Trailer Special emblem on the T-gate.
