The Ford F-Series has been the best-selling truck in the United States for approximately 18,000 years and the best-selling vehicle in the United States for approximately 17990 years (in fact, the first figure is 43 years and we may always talk about the latter figure is based on the striking differences between the F-150 and all other F-series models compared to its rivals). Because paint trucks remain useful for many decades and the appearance of the F-100 and its successor F-150 has not replaced much between the early 1970s and mid-1990s, it’s simple for the old Ford van after the old Ford van. while I sail through the ranks of my local vehicle graveyard. I’ve documented some of those trucks over the years, but the importance of the F-100/F-150 justifies more demolition site history. Here’s a well-worn F-100 1973 at a Denver-area structure site.
The structure label shows that we have an F-100 1973 with a 360 cubic-inch, two-cylinder V8, built at the San Jose Assembly Plant in California (now the Great Mall site). The original transmission was a Borg-Warner T-18 to 4 on the ground (buyers of cheap trucks can also get a 3 in the tree at the time) and the differential had a ratio of 3.25:1 (I use the afterlife because this The truck has the appearance of a vehicle that has been subjected to many component changes over the decades (Array , so it would possibly have been replaced since 1973).
The F-100 remained the one-ton entry truck of the 1983 F-Series, however, the F-150 gave the impression in 1975 as a “robust” edition and eventually became the default passenger van for North. America. Most landfills pass forward and label the F-100 as F-150 on their stock lists, so much so that this designation has taken root deeply (despite the so-called F-100, supposedly encouraged through the F-100 Super Sabre aircraft, which dates back to 1953). “Custom” was the fundamental culmination point in 1973; the big punters have opted for the Ranger XLT editions.
Possibly it would not be the original V8 engine of the FE series of 145 horsepower and 360 cubic inches (5.9 liters) that entered the milpitas engine compartment in 1973, however, it is a member of the large FE package family, and the 360 truck-only is a smart bet due to its unwanted character in the eyes of fans of crazy speed functionality. I’m a little surprised that about 390 owners haven’t picked up the inlays of the spare tube for the time I was given here. Perhaps the exchange meetings have been saturated with such pieces those days.
Similarly, the change of the four-speed grandmother is not in maximum demand through its typical owner of Mustang or Torino, it is very robust.
The hull of the caravan that does not match and the abundance of stickers tell the story of a truck that spent its years as an inescapable application drummer.
Unlocking the hood via the gear shift button is a smart solution for a common challenge in older vehicles.
I’m not sure what’s going on with this setup, but I think it’s a armrest and a convenient door opening that are taken care of in the field, made of materials to have.
How many miles were there at the end? I guess the final total is over 300, 000.
Even to have optional air conditioning!
