New Addition 78 F100
 

My wife and I have "inherited" her grandfather's 1978 F100, we're really excited. He was putting it up for sale and just couldn't let some stranger take it home! I don't know a lot about it, saw it the last time we were in Denver and went for a ride. It's in great shape and only has 31,000 miles on her. Should be here in the next week or two! Will share more when she hits the garage!

Nice!

I can't wait to see pictures. :drool2:

Cool.
A 78 with super low miles...I think '78 was the last year of the F-100. I had a '79 and it was an F-150..not sure though.

Oh man! That's cool. Get them photos up. :drool2:

Cool!
Can't wait for the pics!

That would be due to emissions reasons. :throwup:

How come everything is centered around the EPA for some reason???? :sigh:

Actually, the F100 was still available through about 1983 but it was required to meet more stringent emissions regulations than the F150. Heck, some even came with a 5 on 4.?? bolt pattern on the wheels (unlike the usual 5 on 5.5") and C4 transmissions.

I dunno, but I don't like it. Way too powerful to be populated by unelected folks, IMHO.

The MOCO did the wheel thing so people wouldn't get the 2 mixed up especially the service writers. It was a fool proof no brainer back then because there weren't any computers to plug a vin into.

I love those 70's bodystyle fords. I have a '78 f150 ranger/prospector I got a STEAL on, 81000 original miles, strait 6 300 and I love it.
