  • Can a Proportional Brake Controller be Used on a 1971 Ford F-250?
  • You can absolutely use the a proportional controller with your 1971 Ford F-250 like P3 # 90195, and the fact your '71 F-250 is not computerized will not affect its performance one bit. As for the rest of the parts, you have those correct as well. The Vehicle Wiring Harness # C59236 is a universal part so you can use that to add a 4-flat to your truck, while Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controllers # ETBC7 will give you the rest of the wiring to add the controller.

  • Is There a Trailer Hitch for a 70s Ford F-250 with Flatbed
  • We do offer trailer hitch options for a 1972 Ford F-250 but as far as the flatbed goes, this will be up to you to decide as none of our options are designed for this use. However, the best option would be to go with one that is designed for models with a deep drop tube bumper as this would give you the best chance of compatibility. The Curt 3-Piece Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C15511 is what I recommend and there's a photo below to help you determine compatibility.

  • Base Rails and Brackets Needed to Mount Demco FWH-24P SL 21 Hitch on 1969 Ford F-250
  • For your older Demco FWH-24P SL 21 Hijacker the correct base rails are the SL Series # DM6012. These base rails are unique to the SL Series hitches like what you have and they will run vertical along the truck bed (as opposed to horizontally across like most do). I called my contact at Demco to find the correct mounting brackets you need to install the rails on your 1969 Ford F-250. He stated that you will need to use the Custom Mounting Brackets # DM8553003.

  • How Does 7-Way and Brake Controller Install in 1973 Ford F-350
  • For a truck as old as yours it would be pretty hard to find a wiring diagram for installing the 7-way part # 20023 but I can help you figure it out using a circuit tester like the part # PTW2993. Basically you are going to need to test all of the wires of your taillights to determine their function and then wire to the 7-way using the included diagram. Now hardwiring in a brake controller will be a similar process but you'll only have to test the wires at the brake switch till you find...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Compatible with 1968 Ford Truck
  • The Draw-Tite 75315 hitch has been discontinued, but is only a fit for Ford Full Size Vans. It will not fit a Ford Truck.

I've attached a video of this installation on a 1978 Chevy but the installation is the same.

  • Temporarily Mounting Trailer Valet 5X Swivel Jack/Trailer Mover on Hinged Trailer Tongue
  • Since it seems that you're just speaking about a temporary installation so your neighbor can check out the # STC-V211 Trailer Valet, mounting the trailer mover/jack as you describe would be fine, however if your neighbor decides to purchase a Trailer Valet in the future, he wouldn't want to mount the jack forward of the hinge because it will interfere with folding the trailer tongue.

  • I spoke to my contact at Tekonsha and they said the LCD display on the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195 is part of the limited lifetime warranty. Therefore, if you have an issue with the screen bleeding in from the sides then you would be covered so long as this was not attributed to a user error (ie. water damage). In regards to warranty coverage, this could vary depending on who you purchased the unit from. If you purchased it from us then we would take care of...

  • Since you need a 4 inch diameter pipe the best option we have is the part # BD0287610300 as it has a 4 inch outer diameter whereas the # BD0287690300 that you referenced would be too wide at 4-1/2 inches. Or the part # CG would work too as it is 4 inch diameter and has no pin holes.
