I know they came in fx4's but they don't end up in my local salvage yard very often. Explorers though are plentiful. Are explorers a common source for #1 t-bars?

 

yes. if you look at the door tag, it should say under SPR what bars it has. if it has a 1, you're good.

 

Yeah I was down there today, looked at 6 or 7 explorers, all had b code bars, only a couple t-bar rangers one had f code bars and one had no doors so I couldn't check door tags.

 

A number of XLT 4.0 Xcab 4.0 trucks got them too....they also usually have stock tow hitches too. Don't have to specifically look for a Fx4 truck.

Tried and true method would be getting some brand new ones from Ford. Start out fresh and brand new.

 

Any idea of cost off the top of your head?
