Yea, i had a brain fart. i meant to say that it is NOT old enough to have the swiss cheese frame. my brain is scrambled from worrying about the integrity of my own 1980 frame.
where can you find those brochures? Id like to see one int he 85-86 range, or did you just have one from when you got your truck?
I got my brochures off of e-bay. Very informative they are too. I also bought a owners guide and a 1981 Light truck service manual, and a brochure for the 1981 Explorer Special Pickups too.
I also have plenty of Ford Pickup adds from late 60's to early 80's from my fathers collection of Field and Stream and outdoor life magazines. Including some rare Explorer special adds and pull outs...
I am going to buy the 1981 MCU manual next from there when i see one.
I only buy stuff that relates to my 81 off of e-bay, (mostly because I'm strapped for cash. ) but I see other years on there all the time, might be worth a look.
My internet won't fully load those brochures because its soo slow.. But I believe I have some kind of towing package. I have 4 shocks up front, front and rear sway bars and what I believe to be overload springs in back.
