Uh...did'ja know that the 1980/83 F100's are a different truck than the like years F150's?

Ford advertised these models as a Light Truck.

All have 4.50" bolt pattern wheels (the only F Series truck to use this pattern), smaller brakes, different springs and shocks, different front suspension bits, and "Swiss Cheese" frames.
There were only two engines available, the standard 300 I-6 or the optional 302 2V. In 1982, the awful 3.8 V6 engine replaced the 300 6.

Only regular cabs were offered. Both 6 and 8 foot Styleside beds were available, as was a 6' Flareside bed.

The accessory list was very limited.

You won't find any styled aluminum or styled steel wheels, cuz Ford didn't offer them on F100's of this vintage. You can't use passenger cars wheels, because they won't clear the brake calipers.

Oh man. No I did not know that. Thanks again for the info. I guess I will just be happy with the Ranger.

Very imformantive!

do you think 2k is a good asking price?

I don't know what they go for, but that seems OK to me.

Dont you fret Mr Bricks, ill still hang out here with the Expedition. Gas prices are killing the hobby though. We came home from up north and stopped at a little gift store in Corning and got some pimento olives for you. Weve been hanging around home cleaning up since we dont drive much. Id like to have a BBQ at the end of summer for the chapter guys.
