1970 Find!
Good evening Ford brothers!
This is my first post.
I need to hear from those that may own a 1970 F-100. I found what I believe to be a great deal but my knowledge of the older models is limited.
The truck I have found is the 1970 Custom Cab, long bed, 390 CID engine. It also has a 3 speed, column shift transmission with overdrive. Is this a particularly rare combination? Is the transmission reliable? What are the weaknesses (if any) of this combination?
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Also, I currently am the proud owner of a 1995 F-150 XLT, 351W, longbed (stock for now). Where is the best place to get upgrades for the engine and body on this model?
Thanks for the help, Colin

Hi Colin and WELCOME to FTE. I am glad that you have come to this site. A fellow can learn a degrees worth of info at FTE. I am gonna ask an official favor of you, Would you post your truck questions like this to the much read 67-72 forum? These state forums are for questions and comments not proper for those forums. That way we'll keep everyone happy, and the exposure there is 1000s times greater.
