1967 Ford F-100 “Old Blue”

The 1967-1972 Ford F-100 was the fifth generation of Ford's F-Series, nicknamed the "Bumpside" for the raised horizontal character line that runs along its body sides. This Ford F-100 carried over the Twin-I-Beam independent front suspension on two-wheel-drive trucks and continued to offer the 240-cubic-inch and 300-cubic-inch inline-sixes introduced for 1965. The V8 lineup shifted during the run: the FE-family 352-cubic-inch V8 powered early trucks, the smaller 302-cubic-inch Windsor V8 joined late in the decade, and the FE 360 and 390 V8s served as the larger options through the end of the generation. A key reporting change falls inside this generation: through the 1971 model year Ford quoted SAE gross horsepower, but for the 1972 model year the industry switched to the lower SAE net figures, so a 1972 Ford F-100 carries net ratings while earlier years carry gross. The 1967-1972 Ford F-100 used a body-on-frame layout and was sold as a regular-cab pickup with the Styleside and Flareside beds; the factory extended SuperCab did not arrive until 1974, on the following generation.
