Howdy from Dixie

Post by mephistopheles »

Evening folks! I just bought a '67 F100 to complement my '76 and '69 F250s. All of 'em are everyday working vehicles and ugly as sin.

You sure you got a 67' truck? It looks like a 70'ish grill on it.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the newest is a '67; the previous owner put a '78 grill on it for some reason (and the grill on it is busted to pieces). The blue is a '69 and the red a '76.

I'm not sure what wheels those are as I've never changed the tires on it! It's still a tough truck--it gets moved around hunting season (which around is already started).

Welcome from Virginia. Yep it does have a 70-72 grille in it. Still can be a 67. Does it have pull cable heater or slide? Does it have the pull up handles or paddle handles inside the door? The 67 will have cables and pull up door handles. The 68+ have the paddle handles and slides on the heater. Just a little help on clearing the year of the body. Hope you like our site here. :wel: :fr:
