Never understood the guy with a chevy powered ford... ford as well as chevy make a good engine but fords front ends suck. Guess that's y after years of owning fords I switched to a chevy. The wife still has a ford and I have front end parts in the garage that I'm going to change this weekend...

Speed Way motors in Lincoln Ne made a bell housing and a front motor mount that made putting a small block Chevy in those trucks easy. I did a lot of those farm trucks back in the 70's and early 80's when farms were still using them to haul grain. It made a nice set up.

I have the power wire installed on the truck and trailer. I also changed the end on a set of jumper cables I had so they will plug in to.

Just ordered this so I can power the trailer from the truckView attachment 753269

It doesn't have it's own battery? Mine is set up to charge from the truck.
I bought a wireless remote for mine so I can run it from anywhere within range, I still need to open the tailgates though.

yes has its own battery but like I see at work a lot of guys come in and have trouble. The way I ran the cable on the truck the two battery's are connected with a 2ga wire, not a 7 pin connector.
I like the wireless remote.
