my new project
Hi, I am new to the site. Been awhile but back in the day I had a 73 f100, a 79 f100 and a 79 f250. Been wanting one ever since, this time a 4x4. So I found a 76 f100 with a 4 speed and a 360 (my 73 had one too). I hope I havent bitten off more than I can chew but I hope to make this a sharp looking rig. What do you all think of it? I know it looks rough but Im just as proud of it as I would be a 2010!

$2500, I dont think I paid too much as she runs pretty good and the pretty painted ones that I have seen online fetch anywheres from 5- 15 grand. I wanted one that wasnt hiding 20lbs of bondo. a/c needs work and needs interior, trim and paint obviously.

I really had my heart set on a 79 sb xlt lariat a/c (in retrospect I think I could live w/o a/c) with a C6 but the ones I could find were either rust buckets, bondo buggys or too expensive. I'll never forget the one that got away; I was 16 or 17 back in the early 80s and a guy was selling a 2 tone blue (dark metalic on top and bottom, baby blue in the middle) 1979 sb 4x4 xlt lariat, auto, 351m, all the bells and whistles. I wanted it so bad I could taste it, $5000 sounded like a million bucks at the time, way outta my ballpark. Some ******* kid got his Dad to buy it for him and of course ran it into the ground. Here I am 25+ years later still wanting one, lol, I guess it gets in your blood.
