Standard on base model vans IIRC. I remember riding in (the back off) one in my youth. I noted it was fitted with option 36.

A picture from when they weren't trailer queens.....

This was a 1975 XB GT that was badged as a fairmont by a Ford dealer exec. Was owned by a mate's dad and was the tow vehicle for the caravan in the background in the first shot, the clutch had a flexible pipe that was prone to touching the extractors and bursting, we drove the GT through the suburbia of Orange with no clutch towing the Zephyr ute.
