Is that a Chrysler engine in there????? (follow link to extra photos)

Check out that mess of wiring!

Although for $500 you could put a good cab & doors on it, a Ford engine in it, and some better looking rims and have a decent truck again.

The truck is an F100, not an F150. The original engine was a 300 I-6, but there's a (pick one) 351C/351M/400* in there now. The grille is 78/79, the rest of this pile of miseries is just awful. Someone sunk a chunk of change in this mangy cur.

F10BPX20177

F10 = F100 / B = 300 I-6 / P = St. Paul, MN Assembly Plant / X20177 = 1975

*Note the (mickey mouse) fuel pump block off plate. The bolts are vertical. Only the 351/400 engines had fuel pump holes in this position. Every other Ford OHV engine has horizontal fuel pump mounting holes.

That the gold one with the green interior? Original owner musta been color blind.

That kid should be drawn and quartered. From the looks of it, that truck will need far more than a fender. Seller "forgot" to mention: complete grille, headlamp and parklamp assemblies, lower splash shield, bumper and brackets, core support and braces, and maybe the radiator. The truck wasn't bad till the idjit kid got behind the wheel. Even the factory step bumper was in nice condition.

Man that truck needs a lot of work on the cab. Very poor body work. What did he do to the roof. Did he quarter it and weld it back to gether? I can see a price on a for sale sign in its back window for $3500.00 Maybe if he did things right. That truck is dying a slow death, unless someone can cure it. But I say most will say loss cause.
That motor sure looks strange. Ford had distributors leaning over like a Chryler 400 or 383? My 351 does not go sideways like that.

No that is not original. He had someone cut it in half and reglue it. That can leak and play havoc on your wipers. Too cheap to get something custom order to fit.
