New here

Hello my mame is Hayden. Recently inherited a 1965 f-100. This is my first time working on a more classic vehicle. Wrenched on my 03 ranger for a couple years. But the 65 took me down the rabbit hole. Learning new stuff everyday and enjoying the process. Hope I can learn more from here.

Welcome aboard Hayden. The 65 is much simpler to work on.

Sweet. I did just find out the engine is an 81’ design. Now I know why finding a distributor has been so difficult. Now I just need to find a dist. Trying to update/upgrade/restore the truck. Been in the wife’s family since she can remember. Just got neglected sadly for awhile. But we’re trying to bring her back now.


don’t mind the red circle. Just so I remember where it goes.
