new to the site!

Post by Ridgeratt »

New to here found it when I was doing a search on a barn queen I found! Still in the stages of getting it hauled to my shed. Had a few title problems but should be relocated by this weekend. 3/12/11

My new hobby/ Barn Queen is a 1972 F100 4x4 Flareside.
Once I figure out the photo posting on here Will put up some.

I showed pics to a buddy ( the misinformed, a cheby owner) who was correcting me as to the fact it was a stepside!!
We went looking and it says Flareside and the production numbers for 1972 are a total of 492 .
So my question is if that was the total run on them how many would still be on the road today?
This hasn't been tagged since 1996. it is a farm truck so nothing special.
100 % stock with matching number's!!! :hd:
