73 part out

[austin]

okay i have 73 f-100 parts truck first off i noticed it has manual steering i thought all f-100 after 73 was power steering or is it not true? and will the front springs off it fit my 69 f-100? i am also using the disc brakes of it and the radiator support is there any thing else that will fit my 69?

not all trucks were made with power steering. it is just like today. it was an upgrade. you can still buy trucks today that are stripped down models vinyl seat am radio and so forth. the front springs will fit if you use the lower spring cups that match the springs. the 73 is a close match to our trucks. almost everything will fit our trucks with the exception of the body and wiring harness plus all of the interior switches. i could make a hugh list of things that will fit. what parts do you want from it?
seat
steering column
core support
trans tunnel cover
engine and transmission
the whole front disc setup and steering linkages can be used
the hood will fit
cargo light
engine mounts
trans crossmember
the rearend can be used if you relocate the mounts
headlight bucket will fit and work on 70-77 grilles
front bumper
driveshafts
inner fenders with modifications
front cab mounts
floors
battery tray
duraspark set up with dist
windshield
windshield chrome if its the right type
wiper delay if it has one
radiator
fan shroud
and many more items that can be modified or used if you are not wanting to be year correct.
