Hello from Soutwest Virginia

Post by trik57r »

Hello All,
Just picked up a '72 F100 Short. This is the second '72 I've owned. I was a teenager when I bought/sold the first one. It was my first ever pickup truck. That one was a 360 automatic with a brown under yellow two tone.

This truck has a 240 I6 with a 4 speed NP435. Not the original motor or transmission. Use to be a 3 speed on the column. It use to be yellow but is now black. I plan on setting it up to be a daily driver.

Immediate plans are to get the body back in shape. Needs new cab corners, rockers, hood supports, left fender, and a section of bed floor.

Next up, a 40/20/40 seat swap. air conditioning, gas tank relocation, power disk brakes, power steering, and a slight drop. I have a '76 lwb donor truck.

Future plans will be going back to a V8 and a 5 speed.

Thanks to all for the forum and its content.
