Hi. I'm new to this forum; I just bought a 1964 F-100.
It's a 292 V8 with a 4 speed, 2wd longbed. It is a very solid South Dakota truck; no rust except for some very minor "pitina" on the hood and roof, and on some scratches in the bed. The truck is completely original, down to the battery cables. The OD reads 22,000 miles; The guy I bought it off of swears that this is the original mileage but I guess it could be 122,000 - who knows (the title doesn't have mileage on it). The interior is in great shape though, and the steering and gearbox seem to be fairly tight, so maybe it really is a low mileage truck. I'm sure it needs a tune-up and some new gas, but I was able to drive it home (probably needs a carb re-build too). I gave $2600 for it...not sure if that is a good deal or not, but its hard to find a rust free truck in Ohio and I really wanted this truck (I am a Ford fanatic).
Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself - I am looking forward to getting this old truck back into good running condition.

The brake and clutch pedals will give an indication on if the odometer has been rolled over. 22,000 miles won't have much wear on them but 122,000 will. Welcome to FTE sounds like a good deal at 122,000 and a better one at 22,000.

Welcome to FTE! I think you'll enjoy your stay and learn quite a bit here.

If you picked up that truck at 22,000, DAMN! At 122,000 that's still a pretty good deal. We're looking forward to the pics!

OK - I checked out those pedals; they look pretty good - some minor wear, but nothing like my T-bird that has 100K miles.
I have pics but I'm not sure how to post them. I'll try to get them up today.
