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

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.
