Parts Interchangeability
I have a 1981 Ford F-100 long bed. 3 speed with an overdrive. What year models interchange with that year truck?

Welcome to FTE!



What are you working on?

Drivetrain or sheetmetal?

I'm pretty sure in '81 you have a 4 speed OD with a floor shift, not a 3 on the tree with a separate OD switch, right?

Some stuff interchanges over a longer period than other items.

Right now working on sheet metal. I've got to replace the drivers door and the previous owner has what I believe to be a F100 XL Explorer(?) hood and left quarter panel.
