1982 F100
I have been offered a 1982 F100. It has a straight 6
engine- new clutch, new power steering, new brakes,
very good tires, rebuilt engine. She says it is acting wierd.
Either way, she wants to know if I want it. Of course I want it. But I know nothing of the history of the 1982 F100. Anybody out there wanna share some knoledge on this model of this truck? What should I be weary of. I will be driving it from Tulsa OK. to Chico Ca.

I bought my 81 F100 in Tulsa, OK. It had a straight 6 with a 3 spd auto. It acted "funny" and the only thing wrong with it was the choke was messed up on the carb. They are good solid trucks IMO. After driving it for 6 months I got tired of going slow so I dropped in the 302.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 12-Aug-02 AT 01:19 PM (EST)]My Dad owned an '81 for a lot of years (bought it in '83 as I recall) and my little brother got it when he died. Now, my baby brother is tough on vehicles and the only thing he managed to tear up before he sold it in '99 was the clutch, it was on it's third one by then. I don't remember Dad having any major problems with it at all but he babied it... Not sure of the mileage when it was sold but I probably put 100K on it myself borrowing it from Dad. Always liked the body style of that era best too...
