I was curious about this DSO/dealer number consistency and just checked something out. The actual DSO for Cleveland is 42 from what I see and the dealer prefix's for this area shows 44 whereas Cincinnati is 47 and 47 for a match with Columbus having the 47 code too. Toledo is 48 which is actually Detroit's prefix and in some ways makes sense since Toledo is within an hour of Detroit. Regions will make that happen from what I see.

I guess it's how Ford decided to cut things up!

More information now on the car from one of the guys that potentially prepped the car actually! Jim and Jeff I'll need you two to look for some markings on the radiator supports on your cars. When I get to my car, I'll have to look too. I don't know if they will be there but if they are, I'll have more historical data for these cars.

Digging away...

I am looking at my dash panel (not the pad itself) is really jacked on my ISP car and was wondering if there are any suggestions to fix it or should I be looking for another panel?

I just realized I didn't take a photo of that area. Let me go take one and post it. The dash pad just needs to be redyed and should be fine but the panel has a warp over the speaker cover area and doesn't look that great so wasn't sure if there was something that could be done.

Thanks!

My bad... I guess I'll need the whole dash pad unless someone has a suggestion...





...Kind of a problem when I haven't looked at the car in a while since it's not in my garage.

Confirmed the dates of service and mileage on this vehicle this week.

7-28-1986 In Service
7-25-1989 Titled for auction and sold in Bliss, Idaho
72,793 miles when the unit came out of service

So the car did basically follow the rotation that ISP Fleet mentioned of three years.

Update... Clutch cable has been worked on to make sure that it's adjusting right. Was feeling like it might need a clutch but the cable wasn't self adjusting as it was supposed to. So no clutch for now, maybe down the road. Brakes being worked on next and the exhaust is almost on. I got an estimate for the paint already too in the basic black and white... Might be able to get this one out in public earlier than I thought. Will have to get carpet and the dash replaced and the seat covers maybe to make it look right too. All the emergency equipment is in my hands now so it can be installed right after paint and just before putting the interior back in.
