New Member from Michigan - 1981 F100 from Original Owner

BillyRay59


I bought this today, 1981 F100 from the original owner.  300 six, 3-on-the-tree. 52k original miles.  Three options, 1: Cloth/Vinyl seat, 2: AM Radio, 3: Power Steering.

Welcome!  Glad you joined.  

I like the truck.  Not many with that few of options around, and many on here love their optionless trucks.  And to get it from the original owner with only 52K miles is wonderful!

What part of Michigan are you in?  I ask because we have a map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu) and we could add you if we had a zip or city.

I hope you'll start a thread about your truck, either in the main section or in Projects, to tell us what you do to it over the years.  We like to follow along and offer encouragement on the way.

Hi Gary, I live in the Detroit Metro area, 48025.

I wanted a stripper.  No AC systems, Power windows, chrome to find, etc.  I did want PS because I'm getting old, LOL.  This truck was perfect.

Still has the original title in the owner's name.  Just needs a rear bumper.  It was removed and they don't know what happened to it.

I will start a thread, I plan to restify it, use it, keep it running, and pass it to my grandkids (none yet) eventually.

I've owned quite a few Ford Trucks over the years...

Bill - You are now on the map.  

As for Ford trucks, you are well ahead of me, and I'm OLD!
