My New 1970 F100 Daily Driver Project! PHOTO HEAVY

Postby cheek on Fri Jun 17, 2011 2:51 am

G'day everyone!
Today I bought another truck :) It's a Sydney, NSW assembled 1970 F100 that came out of the factory as a grey with black interior 240 6cyl 4sp np435 f100... Now its gloss black with black interior, got a 351 cleveland and a c10 Auto with a high stall convertor :D
The plan for it is to just get it road worthy and drive it! Along the way I'll be changing a few things though, hence the project thread.
I bought it from a Toybota dealer, the previous owner was an older panelbeater who had "popped one out with a younger wife" who made him choose, her or the car lol!
Anyway heres the pics:

That is a very good looking truck! I have never seen an air intake like that before, is that original to these?

Nah the air filter is a lpg (propane) filter, so it can run on either petrol or gas. Very ugly looking but does the job :)

Ole and Sven are Scandinavian names (Norwegian, probably), not German.
