Just moved back to Calgary,

I looked at a 76 f100 with a 302 4speed today. Pretty decent shape, and not much rust(one major hole through the passenger side fender just ahead of the door). Have to get back there tommorrow and take it for a drive and if all goes well i'll likely buy it.

Last august I bought beat up 76 f100 with the 300i6 and 3 on the tree. The parking brake cable was siezed and the compression so shot that when parked and left in first it would roll away on even the slightest incline. The exhaust rusted out before the muffler and so the thing sounded like a tractor. The insurance ran out at the end of last year and they wouldnt renew it unless i replaced the windshield, exhaust, both leaf springs, and some other minor things. I figured it wasn't worth it so I sold it to the wreckers for $150 where they now use it as a yard truck. I sincerely regret getting rid of that truck, it was in hindsight the best vehicle i've ever owned.
