Howdy Boys
Howdy,
I have to say that this site is absolutly the best. I have a 71 F100 2wd Sport Custom. It has been handed down to me from my pa and I am the 3rd owner. Pa got it from a college friend who bought it brand new. Pa Drove it as a daly driver for a while then parked it. And after it sat for 8-10 years I aired up the old tires, put a new fuel pump on it, and poured some gas down the carb and it ruined great. I drove it to highschool and never had a problem with it. Then I went off to college and it sat for about 5 years getting drove only if I came home or had to be moved out of the way. Now I am planing to rebuilt what I can, get it repainted and drive her again.
Origanaly, according to the vin. it had a 360 in it but now my pa told me it has a 352 that has been bored alittle bit in front of 4 speed manual trany.
Its in good shape but does need some work.
Was a farm and Ranch truck for over 20 years. But amazingly no rust.

re: Howdy Boys
Forgot to mention she has no PS, no PB, no AC, and she is and has been running on propane for awhile. Tank was robbed off her when pa parked her. But I found another one and put her back on and it runs great. And Cheap!
