"New" toy

My dad just got a hold of a 71 Ford 100 Sport custom.

It has a 302 automatic, not running but not seized.

I found out though dad just wants the windshield.

kinda sad

What`s the rest of the 71 like? A w/s is fairly reasonable, I bought a new one for around $160 cash & carry. We installed it at home with lockups help.

I bought a sixty seven which may need some parts rear bumper, tailgate, rear window and some others. The rest of the truck is one of those too good to leave as parts, on the other hand not that great of shape to restore.
