VIN # Help?
Can anybody run a check on a '79 F-150, VIN # F15BRDF1120? The seller says it's pretty much stock. Has 69,000 original miles; in good shape. The first owner converted it to propane fuel. Is that a good or bad thing?

Propane = good. Although gas delivers more BTUs than propane,
you can run a 14:1 compression with propane if you so wish, which you can no longer do with the crappy gas that passes for fuel nowadays. Any of us old timers can run on at the mouth for an hour or two over the amazing things we did/saw during the days of good ol' leaded supreme.
