Hello all first truck 72' f100 looking for idea.
I just picked this up yesterday from a friend. It was his daily driver and is still registered. He drove it 80 miles a day for the last two years! He just put in a new mast slave cylinder, new radiator, new tires, new brakes, all new hoses, rebuild water pump, rebuild alternator, new pressure plate and clutch, wheel bearing. He gave me two fenders, couple sets of light bezels, LH and RH what looks like weld in cab mounts panels, and LH and RH weld in cab panels for the rear of the cab. Everything is solid, the floors, doors, rocker panels the cab it'self is solid. The heater works, which was great because I had a 45 minute drive home. He thinks it has a 75' 302. The plus is everything works! I have a couple ideas running through my head: sell it, leave it as is, or freshen up.

May your sails stay full, and your knots not slip. Unless a slip knot.
