Hi everyone, Father & Son build. Picked up this F100 a week ago and after being unable to find any help we stumbled across this site. We clo=icked around on here for a a couple days and immediately seen the plethora of information that this forum provides. Guy we got it from said it was a 75/76 but the numbers on the door jam and door would lead us to think otherwise. Unfortunately AAA was unable to assist with anything and we have an appointment at the local DMV to try and gather more registration info. Have more pics of the day we picked her up as well if interested.
Heres what we have so far
