my guess is 1974?
Don't look it up, just guess first.
Because where's the fun in guessing to see how close you are to being familiar with most makes and models, + the correct year, if you go and look it up instead of just being honest and guessing?
Look it up after you guess, see how close you got!
My dad had a green 72 F100 with a lemon yellow roof. My sister forgot to latch the hood when he was teaching her to drive and it took two rednecks and the American tourister gorilla to close it when it popped up on 41.
ReplyDeleteIt also tracked sideways after getting hit by a crane on my dad's jobsite and had the chrome headlight bezels ripped off by barbed wire when my dad took a drunken detour through a neighboring cow pasture late one night.
I dropped the trans when I was just a kid and did more work than I care to remember. I don't know the specific year model changes on the F100, but it sure looks a lot like that old 72.
1976 F100
ReplyDeleteWell Jesse, I guessed '75. I see I was a few years off. It's a subtle difference, but it's there. I like your caption, and the reference you make to how anyone could work on their truck back then. I remember my '75 Dodge Custom 200 was like that. I loved that truck. 318, 2 bbl., rear wheel drive. 8 ft. bed. No bullshit. just a great truck.
ReplyDelete1977?
ReplyDeleteComputer crap is right. How much would these things cost of they dropped all of this infotainment touchscreen control crap? Knobs and maps are fine for me.
ReplyDeleteme too, I just don't need all the menus for stuff I've never used. I'm on my 2nd Veloster for a commuter, and in 10 years, haven't used any of the menu functions past the clock one to keep it on time.
DeleteThat'd be a '76.
ReplyDelete'74-75 had a different grille,I can't tell 'em apart. '76-77 had that grille. '78-79 had the large grille in the center
In '77 they just moved the F100 ornament up to the cowl.
AFAIK.
