Greetings everyone. I just joined from Winchester, VA. Last weekend I bought this 1980 F100 from a friend and plan to get it running again. I have already replaced a tire, fixed the tailgate (would not open), and cleaned/rebuilt the air filter system. I have all the parts and plan to replace the fuel system this weekend (New carb, fuel pump, filter, float/sender, and tank). I also have a new set of bushings/pins for the doors.
Truck has an in-line 6 with 3 on the tree. Interior is pretty roached and will need a lot of work. Exterior is pretty clean with minimal rust. I has been repainted. Truck does not currently run but will turn over/run with starting fluid. I hope to have it idle/run by the end of the weekend. Excited to be a member. I'm going to need as much help as I can get moving forward. Not a Ford guy but I couldn't pass up this truck for $500 from a buddy (he was the original owner).
1980 F100 Custom. Inline 6. Power steering. 3 on the Column.
