Howdy. Looks like I found the right place. I just picked up a 70 F100. Pretty much rust free and not too much body work needed. It has a transplanted 351w and a 3 speed. Most of the trim is missing and the grille is the wrong year. Overall its in pretty good shape. First thing I plan to do is put tires on it, and start driving it. Down the road I would like to replace the 3 speed with a toploader.

That's just a rigged up gas gauge the previous owner put in. The instrument cluster needs some attention.
