5.1.2 Back Panel Removal
When planning and specifying the base vehicle
and the conversion, select the Special Vehicle
Option, which has a detachable cab back panel.
Please consult your local National Sales
Representative for availability.
5.1.3 Integrated Bodies and
Conversions
For integral structures such as ambulances or
motor-homes with increased rear overhang built
onto the chassis the following applies:
•
Reduced departure angles, e.g. rear entry
step, should be discussed with the end user
/ customer. Consider removable components
to avoid damage on ferries or low-loaders.
•
Unique spare wheel stowage may be required
if obscured by rear step, check for
accessibility.
•
The recommended dimensions for
wheelhouses on conversions are outlined in
Figure. E74528, E74529 and E74530.
However, in case a specific conversion
requires wheelhouse dimensions smaller than
described below, please consult the Vehicle
Converter Advisory Service (VCAS@ford.com)
for an individual solution.
