Hello, all. Just signing in here. Yesterday, I picked up the 1973 F100 pictured below. 360, Auto

Can't wait to start slowly restoring the truck. It's got it's fair share of dings, scratches, chips and needs, but I'm still excited to have it.

I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions along the way.

Hey Ross, welcome to FTE, lot's of good, knowledgeable people here more than willing to answer any questions you might have.
Looks like you've got a nice truck there, congratulations.

 

Welcome to FTE. Do you have any more pictures? We all love pictures!

 

Welcome to FTE, looks like a pretty good truck as she sits.

 

Welcome! Nice looking truck. Congrats! Where ya from?

 

Welcome from up North.

Beautiful truck you got there!

 

love that green and white color scheme! nice ride!

 

Nice looking truck. Looks like it had a tool box on it judging by the shortened bed rails.

 

fine looking truck right out of Hollywood

 

Restore what?? That truck looks just fine to all of us. Pull one out of a field that's been there for a while and restore that one. Leave your current beauty alone and enjoy it as is.

 

I'll get some more posted up soon.

Alvin, TX (Just south of Houston)

It did have a tool box and I'm thinking I'll probably be removing the rails.

It's a 20 footer. Closer inspection would reveal, several dings, scratches, paint chips, etc. It needs A/C repair and the power steering is acting up. It works perfect turning left, but barely works at all turning right. Just a lot of odds and ends here and there to restore/make better. It should be fun. I spent 1/2 the day yesterday on LMC's website. Haha.

Thanks for the warm welcome.

 

Buy a Hemmings Motor News. From the section on Truck Parts, order parts
catalogs on line. Good Luck
We own a 75 F-150, 8'box, 390, auto, a.c., Ford cap, 12 mpg max.

 

Some audio equipment came in.







Installed sound/heat barrier in both doors then ran new speaker wires, installed the 6.5's and called it a night.

 

Welcome from SoCal! NICE truck!

 

Hi Ross,
Where are you from? I have a purple 75 Ranger XLT, 2wd, 390 auto, ac.
My drivers door is also apart to replace the vent-glass weather-strip and install speakers.
My freebie Alpine amp is only 2 channel -30watts each. Alpine says it is not enough to
drive the pair of 12s behind the seat. Open to suggestions or a better freebe amp.
