Hi everyone. I'm Mary. Just found this place. Just bought a new "to me" Truck. Details 1980 F151 Explorer Ranger. Great condition. Farmer ownened. 50,500 miles. One rust spot. AM radio that works. My red baby. Now you want pics. That will take a bit. Not to computer smart.

 

Take your time. Welcome to FTE!!! congrats on posting in the right forum thats a HUGE start. most people dont. LOL. but any questions you can throw out there we'll be here to answer.
EDIT:: Did you say F151????? Did you mean to say that? or was it a typo? i thought those were only Dentside "heavy" 1/2 tons?

 

Thanks. Its a little confusing. Now I'll ask a couple questions. Why does all the paper work call my truck a F151. Can't find any information on it. Next I work machine maintenace but never worked on a truck. I believe the carborator needs rebuilt. Is it something I can do?

 

Yes I said F151. That is what I found confusing. Streight truck not 4x4. Plain jane. I have an owner card with a metel strip that looks like the vin number and also calls it F151.

 

Its a f 150 What motor ??? Welcome to the forum ..Lew

 

302 two barrel. It has a distriburter cap. Ha Ha. Haven't seen one of those in a while.

 

Welcome to the motley crew.

This is supposed to be for introductions and pictures only.

Please start another thread to talk about your truck.

Maybe Scott can clean up this thread please?

 

I'm Robert, here's the photo:


Just has to do with the moron who originally put your truck in the states DMV system...
Here in Washington my 1980 F-100 is listed as an F-1 which ford hasn't made since the early Fifties.

Welcome to the forums.

 

Split from Mugshots thread.

Welcome Lizzy! Thanks for joining us in the '80-'86 forum.

The venerable F-151 now has it's own thread.

 

My 1978 has F151 on the plate on the driver's door. It also had it on the title. I will have to take a picture and post it.

 

Not my truck but an example of F151 on the VIN plate.

The GVWR ratings for these trucks was tied to a combination of wheel, spring, axle and brake combinations. The series code on the ID tag denotes which model and from that it can be determined what weight rating each vehicle has. 4×4 trucks can also be identified by the Vehicle Identification Number and on the ID plate as a serial number. For example, F10 is an F-100 2-wheel drive, but F11 is an F-100 4×4, and so on. Serial numbers beginning with an "X" are SuperCab models

 

No such thing as an F151. People see TYPE/GVW F151 printed on the Certification Label, think it's an F151 but it isn't.

All an F151 is...is an F150 2WD Regular Cab Pickup w/a 250 lbs. increase of the GVWR

1980/82 TYPE/GVW F151 = F150 2WD Pickup, 5,450 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.

1980/82 TYPE/GVW F150 = F150 2WD Pickup; 5,200 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.
