1.1.2 Introduction
This manual has been written in a format that is
designed to meet the needs of Vehicle Converters.
The objective is to use common formats with the
workshop manual which is used by technicians
worldwide.
This guide is published by Ford and provides
general descriptions and advice for converting
vehicles.
It must be emphasized that any change to the
basic vehicle which does not meet the enclosed
guideline standards may severely inhibit the ability
of the vehicle to perform its function. Mechanical
failures, structure failure, component unreliability
or vehicle instability will lead to customer
dissatisfaction. Appropriate design and application
of body, equipment and or accessories is key to
ensuring that customer satisfaction is not
adversely affected.
The information contained within this publication
takes the form of recommendations to be followed
when vehicle modifications are undertaken. It must
be remembered that certain modifications may
invalidate legal approvals and application for
re-certification may be necessary.
Ford cannot guarantee the operation of the vehicle
if non-Ford -approved electrical systems are
installed. Ford electrical systems are designed and
tested to function under operational extremes,
and have been subjected to the equivalent of ten
years of driving under such conditions.
For availability of options and parts please contact
your National Sales Company representative or
Local Ford Dealer.

compromises neither his personal safety nor the
vehicle integrity by his choice of methods, tools or
