F100 - which model? which engine?
hi all, new to forum, joined today, new into the hobby....I came upon this one up for sale here locally at the moment, but I cannot seem to get this model on the F series info sites (maybe I have not found the right one yet! ), Wikipedia shows a lot of models but none similar to this one, what I could gather is that it's around 1976 model, inline six cylinder, this one is relative std, see steering wheel etc, needs lot of TLC but I am sure it could be a nice project, the price is good as well....would like comments from fellow members!

Here that's a 67-72. You aren't here though, I can tell by the right hand drive. Where are you located? I know ford and other motor companies would use one body style for different year ranges in different countries.
Looks like a 67-68 custom(base model) but idk a lot about bumpsides or the yearly grilles.

Hi Theuns
Welcome to FTE, this site is full of help full people which can give you a lot of advice and tips. By the looks of you truck being right hand drive and the number plate i take it you are from SA?
Regarding your truck its called a bump side because of the bump going along the side of the truck, dent sides have a indent... easy way to make out. Your truck would be in the 60 to 72 range where dent sides started at 73 to 79. Anybody can correct me if I am wrong but thats how I understand it.
Btw, congrats on your new ride!

That refers to the styling que that runs along the side of the truck. In the USA 67-72 it's raised or "bumped" from the surface. The 73-79's have the styling que depressed or "dented" in.
