Thumbs down contractors special?

Hey my Friends,I was doing some reading and I wanted to know if Ford made contractors specials in 73-79?
Any pictures of any of them?
Did they only make them in 67-72?

You asked me this question earlier and I told you: 1969/72

There's not one mention in the parts catalog after 1972 about any Contractors Specials.

There's an illustration of the features these trucks had in the 1964/72 Ford Truck Parts Catalog-Section 270, Page 3. (I told you this, too) and all the parts numbers are from 1969.

The tool boxes mounted on top of the bed sides (quarter panels) with brackets-Styleside pickups with 8' ft beds only.

2) C9TZ-9946100-A .. Contractors Tool Box-Complete with Door & Lock ~ R/L is the same.

4) C9TZ-9946180-A .. Mounting Bracket

The OP () probably read an add where the seller had a beater and refered to it as a "contractor special" and thought it was a Ford name

You know the history.

The OP askes a question, gets detailed info from fellow members, fails to respond, then asks the same question again....and again....and again...ad nauseum.

The OP sent me P/M after P/M earlier this morning, I gave him all the info.

Now here he is again, asking the same friggen questions.

I also made the mistake of telling him all about the Farm & Ranch Specials.

That'll be his next series of questions. "Did they make any 1973/79, or are they all 1967/72?"

1969/72 was when Ford made them, and all a F&R Special has, is some wooden boards that fit into the beds stake pockets front/right/left.

I just gotta learn how to scan and post from a CD.

Mebbe he'll believe the parts catalog illustrations, tho I kinda doubt it.

Something else has occurred since June 2008, Anthony has become a good friend to both myself & "she who must be obeyed."

June 2008, he needed a ride to the F100 Western Nationals, I volunteered and we've been friends ever since.

I spoke with him a coupla days ago, he's now living in St. Charles MO, where he's going to school and working at Auto Zone part time as a partsguy.

I asked him, how do you like waiting on the dumb clucks who think they know everything, but usually know very little or nothing at all?

He laughed and said...now I see why you lost all tolerance for stupidity after waiting on dumb clucks for 35 years.
