Greetings All !

I've been lurking on here for a few months and finally decided to officially say hello. I bought my 1969 F-100 in November and am looking forward to learning more about it from the knowledgeable members of this forum. Thanks in advance for any help I may need in the future

Well, it's a 300ci straight 6 long bed and almost all original as far as I can tell. Drum brakes all around, no power ANYTHING, 3 speed on the column, with some rust but not too terrible for its age. Although, over the last 49 years, there have been plenty of hands "fixing" previous problems. These "fixes" are some of the small projects that I will have to unfix. It also has an AutoLine C-814 carb that I'm looking to replace. I get conflicting info (what little bit I've been able to do) on which carb was original to the truck. I've seen some people say the Autolite 1100 or Carter YF (or possibly YFA). I'm curious what some of the more experienced voices have to say. I must say, it's a lot of fun to drive and I've gotten a few "thumbs ups" from people as I pass by.I look forward to tinkering with it, and thanks in advance for all the help from this forum
