FOMOCO Build Sheet

Post by Andy Man »

Recently, Ford sent to me a Build Sheet for my '69 F250 Ranger. The sig below is the build sheet. I am grateful to Ford for putting this together, but, I'm kinda disappointed in the sheet. Very sketchy...This truck is "Ranger" emblemed, yet no mention on the sheet. Also has factory auxiliary tank yet, no mention on sheet. The side of the bed body has the tie down tits, also the side marker lights yet, no Camper Special emblems or sheet mention. I'm a bit confused about what this truck is.

I've searched and googled with no success, if anyone can identify what was included in the "convenience group". I would be grateful.

the new ford employees dont always know how to properly decipher the build sheets. so they may have even said you had bucket seats sometimes. the best way to get the correct information is to go to http://www.martiautoworks.com and they can do it properly.

Thanks for responding. Followed your link and, I did look around some on that site but was not able to find any info on the Convenience Group. Did I miss something?

From page 11 of the 1969 Ford Pickup Salesman's brochure, located in the Factory Literature Library:

"Convenience group for Standard or Custom cab includes cargo area light, courtesy light door switches, inside day/night mirror and engine compartment light."

I don't remember ever seeing an under hood light on these trucks. I want one. lol Mine is a SportCustom but it came with the daytime night time mirror and the door mounted inside light switch. No cargo light though.

HaHa! No problem man. I wanted to have Marti do the "Elite" report on my truck, but at the time they said there was a 6 month turn around time :x
