Man I have not seen one of these in a long time. The engine is a direct port fuel injection. You don't need a head. You simple park on top on a hill and pour the gas into the cyclinders and release the brake.

Last time I saw one was on Malcolm in the Middle, but it was an old Mustang.

to whoever said that their truck had stripes like this: if it had stripes like this then it was an Explorer, but there were many different kinds of Explorer stripes. some stripes that came on these trucks weren't Explorer stripes, though. it depends on what kind of stripes you had.

dude, this truck is purrrrrfect. the only thing is make sure that when you get it started and before you go somewhere check the blinker fluid and muffler belts.

OP posted the VIN...it's a 1973, not a 1979.

D3TZ1020000G .. Stripe Kit-White / Used 1973 only.

Parts catalog doesn't specify Explorer inre to this stripe kit.

1974 had a similar stripe, except it had three stripes, instead of two.

Besides white, black was also available.

Don't forget to check the muffler bearings and the hyler pins.
