I don't know for sure when they stopped the F100 but do remember them coming out with the F150 in 1979 I believe. They did it to get around federal EPA regulations for another year or so. Just kind of figured they stopped the F100 at the same time, guess that's what I get for trying to think.

F-100 STOLEN 1/13/2013 Zephyrhills Florida
My truck was STOLEN from it's parking spot on Route 301 next to Enterprise Rental Cars in Zephyrhills Florida on Sunday night, the 13th of January 2013.
They broke the passenger window, and stripped the harness on my trailer (parked next to it) apparently for wire to cross-wire the truck with.....they would also have had to break the steering lock........
Look at the pics guys.........I'm FROSTED. This truck was sporting signs for our Church Ministry, and is only used for that purpose.....Church work......Events, outreaches, emergency aid, etc.........
What type of low life steals a Church truck right off the Church lot ?????
If anyone could benefit from the VIN #, let me know..... I'll post it or message it.

Tis' a sad, sad day. I'm so sorry for your loss. I sure hope you find it and get it back in decent shape. (And tar and feather whomever took it.) Kind of makes you wish you had a lojack or some type of tracking device on it.

Lojack was a consideration when I built it, but the things are SO expensive.....BUT NOW, there are a few more companies that are competing for the GPS tracking business......RM was one I checked into.....$179. and $19.95 per/month with a self-contained battery back-up and online software/tracking.....Now THAT ain't too bad at all.............
I'll tell you this, the NEXT one I build is gonna have a few surprises built in for a would-be thief...........

Your situation inspired me to plan the installation of a security system on Dad's truck, but not until I do the body work. Here's a link to the thread I started: Security Systems Thoughts and Questions.

I was just thinking about "Eye-Fi", and putting in a hidden radio (under the seat) with usb capability. You could then just leave the "Eye-Fi" sd card plugged into a usb adapter and it would call home every time it passed through a free wi-fi area. Or you could even rig up a hidden camera with the "Eye-Fi" card, it would then send the pictures to your computer everytime it was in a free wi-fi area. I haven't really worked it out, but was just a thought that I had when I read about your predicament. I sure hope you find it soon.
