Old Ford F150 found in yard, need to identify the year







We have an older F-100 Truck in Southeast Michigan that we believe is from the late 50's or early 60's. There's nothing on the vehicle to tell us exactly how old it is. We are looking for someone who may want it for restoration or parts. Is there a place where I can send photo to find out the approximate age and who may want it? Also, there is another Ford truck that looks like it may have been used for plowing snow.

Post some pictures and we can likely tell you the year.

First truck appears to be a 1957 or 1958 with a 1960 grille. The second truck is around a 1978 but I'm not exactly sure. Jim

Yup as he said. First one is a '57(could be '58 but I believe that's a '57 side emblem) with a 1960 grill.

Second is definitely a 1978.

The newer one is most likely a 78 since it has round headlights. I might be wrong but it is generally thought (in my circles) that the round headlights were early production 78.

Question Old Ford F150 found in yard.

No see um pictures. No F150's prior to 1975.

1957's have single headlamps, 1958/60's have dual headlamps.

VIN stamped on the Rating/Warranty Plate.

Depending on the year: Rating/Warranty Plate located either on the left door face below the latch, on the inside of the glove box door, or on the left A pillar (windshield post) visible when the door is opened.
