Question for Ford engineers on Lightning lighting
Always wondered: why does the Ford Lightning Lariat with zone lighting not use the white lights in the tail light as the backup light. instead, these trucks use the tailgate white lights as the backup light and save the tail light white lights for zone lighting only. wouldn't it make more sense to use the backup light that's in the tail light and then save the tailgate light for zone lighting only?
mlMaybe it was a marketing thing to differentiate trucks without zone lighting versus trucks that do have zone lighting. if you were a Ford engineer please answer if you can! I would love to talk about the truck more because I really love it.

Make sure that airplanes are landing from east to west on runway 28R. Park in economy lot H which isn't cheap but then you can walk up a short distance. Even better, have someone drop you off and they can circle around back to Coffey Road and Brod...

    An extremely rare mid 60s Ford one ton dually 4 x 4. Not sure of production numbers but my guess would be number in only in the hundreds, maybe less. And then when one considers that this is one of probably only a handful still surviving. Truck has been redone and repainted at some time. To the right person this truck is easily worth tens of thousands of dollars. This is quite honestly one of the rarest vehicles in North America at this time IF it is factory original and not someone's masterful creation.

      Another thing with a divorced transfer case is a highboy . Saving includes half ton fords and 3/4 tons pre-67, chevy's too. Anything with a divorced transfer case because they all had to be spring higher. Even the old 1950s Napco Fords are highboys.

    So what you're looking at is a 1929 or 30 ish MODEL A sedan, which would have been a four-door, that's where those extra windows come from behind the door, that they shortened the cab into a pickup cab, And it looks like it's a maybe 34 or 35 pickup bed, small block Chevy with a small supercharger.

Fun fact an 855 uses 3 separate heads for 1 inline 6 making rebuilding the engine in the truck while on the road possible for an experience (or really pissed off) driver, if a cylinder goes down you can pull that head and replace that piston and liner and be back on the road in less than a day, truly one of the greatest engines ever built
