73-79 Stock Pictures
I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find pictures of an all stock 73 f100. Maybe in the different paint schemes that were offered that year. I am trying to make mine original but I need some direction first. Ive been searching google for a couple days but haven't had much luck. Thanks.

Don't have a pic of the tailgate I will have to get one. The tailgate has the aluminum trim piece on it that says Ford on it. Also upper and lower trim pieces that break up the paint colors.
Anybody notice yet that it was ordered without a passenger side mirror? I guess I will add one for saftey reasons even though I don't want to. Not looking forward to drilling two holes in a perfect door.

Here's a picture of my '73 Ranger and my bud's '76 Explorer
Some other potential useful information:
The buyer could choose:
No tu-tone - solid color.
Accent tu-tone - only the upper portion of the cab is painted a secondary color.
Deluxe Tu-Tone - the inside area of the race track moulding is painted a secondary color; the rest the main color.
Combination Tu-Tone - combining the accent & tu-tone to get the effect you see pictured above.
Also, you may want to think about trim...
Hope this helps! Good luck with your project!
