Hi,
my name is Bjoern and I am (soon) the proud owner of a 69 Ford F100. Truck is currently getting shipped and will (hopefully) arrive end of October here in Germany. As for the registration, I would need some reliable evidence for:
- maximum speed (truck has a 390 with automatic transmission and 3.25 gears)
- the sound (noise) level of the truck preffereably in db
- the size (diameter) of the front lights
I am looking for car magazines, articles, reviews, commercial ads by Ford etc. Any help is appreaciated.

Welcome. Headlights are 7" diameter. The rest you'll probably have to figure out yourself.

Re: 1969 Ford F100 (Germany)
aus Bayern! Scheinwerfer sind 7", musste ich auch fürn TÜV auf H4 umrüsten.
Für die anderen Daten kannst Du Dir beim TÜV Augsburg ein Datenblatt für dein Auto machen lassen. Kostet zwar n bisschen was aber ist dafür auch auf deine VIN und macht weniger Stress bei der Abnahme als wie irgendwelche alten Prospekte oder so.

Re: 1969 Ford F100 (Germany)
Good day Bjoern,
I know that you're no doubt looking for authoritative information on the truck's top speed and noise levels, yet I'm not sure if Ford even published those specifications since as you know, they're not much of a concern in the USA (especially for a truck).
My guess on top speed, depending on the truck's mechanical condition, would be around 177 KPH (110 MPH), but the truck probably wouldn't be safe or comfortable at that speed at all. It would no doubt feel and sound like it was going to disintegrate violently at any second. The maximum comfortable speed, if the truck's in great mechanical condition, is probably around 112 KPH (70 MPH).
Maybe Florian has helped with his awesome German reply! I love it; that's the first complete German post I've seen here on FORDification.

Re: 1969 Ford F100 (Germany)
Thank you for the welcome and the advice given. Big thank you also to Florian for supporting me with his documentation. Here is the truck (still in the US):
small joke (sad but true): while talking to the guy at registration, he said that they need to know max speed for the right tire index.
In order to make me use the onces that work untill 190km/h or above
