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!

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.

![]() 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.

[QUOTE=cleatus12r;16510]That would be due to emissions reasons.
![]() How come everything is centered around the EPA for some reason???? ![]() I dunno, but I don't like it. Way too powerful to be populated by unelected folks, IMHO.
