Model ID

Hey guys, brand new here, name's Tim!
While chatting with a friend from a small town here in NSW, Australia, I had told him I was thinking about buying and building a cool semi rat truck with bags, patchy bodywork/patina, and a shop logo on the door to move motorcycle (my first love) parts around when i need to, and he tells me a guy he knows would be willing to sell this to me since i'm a friend of his!
He hasn't had a chance to go to the farm to check out the year model and engine combo, so I thought i might join up and ask for you guys expertise!

Can you tell what year model this truck is from the pics at the least guys?
I appreciate any help!!
Thanks in advance

looks like a 72 grill but parts change on these trucks over the years. decode the VIN when you get it to find out what it is and is supposed to have.

From the front it looks like it is a 72 unless the inserts were changed over the years from a PO. I see some other treasures sitting in the background to. Vintage trucks make any kind of hauling cool.

US/Canada: 1972 F100/350.

Be aware that Aussie VIN's are different than US/Canada VIN's.

These "down under" VIN's cannot be decoded, as no FTE member that I'm aware of has the apropos Aussie truck parts catalog.

Here in the US/Canada, the 1964/72 Ford Truck Parts Catalog is used for decoding US and Canada (1965) VIN's, but what is used down under, I dunno.
