Welcome to FTE.

The answer to your question is: Yes.... and no. But, post it up on the Older, Classic and Antique Trucks section and you'll get plenty of help. Along with the reason it is a yes and not situation.

Don't forget your state chapter too.

I agree with pbsdaddy: yes and no and post in "1973 - 1979 F-100 & Larger F-Series Trucks" for more detail.

Will it bolt up to the transmission and motor mounts? Maybe.

What about the computer and the new routing for various other things?

Air intake?

Power steering?

Air conditioning?

Radiator hoses?

Etc.

Welcome aboard!
