Hello from the panhandle

Been looking around for the last week or so since I bought this. 1977 F-100 3 speed manual, 300 inline six. I can see it's going to a long road, I noticed the steering a bit hard, so I opened the hood to find the lack of a power steering pump, well that explains that. And no it really is the six cylinder and not the outboard that powers it.

LOL that boat doing a photobomb is funny, nice truck!

Are you saying it has a power-steering steering gear and no pump or is it real manual steering?

Welcome aboard!
