way back oh ten years ago I bought my 71 F100 down in Tx when I lived there. we moved back to wi. about 7 years ago and 5 years ago I stated to work on my 71










then came the dark ages where it just sat out in the junk row for almost 5 years. here a couple months ago the kids started bugin me to get it runnin again. so we pulled it in the shop a couple months ago and got goin on it. we replaced all the brakes and hardware,lines, lockouts, drive shfts ect, ect installed a 300 and 4sp. painted it OD green and flat black.







had to out back and get the bed up to the shop so that can get painted and put on then some bumpers and she's all done.

Did you put the body on a 73-79 chassis? Truck looks killer.

Cool!

Bumps with no chrome strips are my favorite looking vehicles.

My cowboy buddies would buy a "new" Chevy and first thing lift the cab off
to work on 'em, made it easy. But. The cab rubber mounts were -always-
shot too, so that was another reason to lift the cab off the frame. LOL .

Fords ain't like that, they got a better rubber-cab-mount system.
