'72 F100 in AZ

Post by brookparksix »

just picked this up. it has a 240 w/ a 3-on-the-tree. i haven't looked at the trans and rear axle numbers,but i'm assuming it probably has the light-duty 3-speed. it runs, but needs a bit of love. i haven't owned any old american iron in years, and i'm super-stoked to have it. i'm not going to restore it, but i'm going to get it mechanically A1. i'm pretty sure it has 136,000 miles on it (the old man i got from bought it a few years back w/ 78,000 alleged original miles).

thanx in advance for any help i get from you guys.
