Thanks for the welcome notes and kind words. Here's a better pic without all the shadows.

Calfdemon- You are right, body work is all done. Just needs paint and some interior TLC. Not sure what color to go with yet. Engine is a 1985 351W, auto, PS, PB. gonna do a little dress up to the engine and get rid of the hideous air cleaner.

I have one question for you guys. My brake pedal sits very high. I'm 6'3" and it's real hard to get my leg up off the gas and onto the brake easily. I've never experienced this with other F100's. Is this normal for this year truck? Is there a fix for this? Here's a pic.

there is a fix for the brake pedal. no it dosent look like it is correct. put in a shorter rod to the booster from the pedal and it will bring the pedal closer to the floor. just dont go too short
