1973 to 1985 Carburated Vehicles
Emissions laden vehicles, but still simple enough to work on and we still love 'em!

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

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.
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.
