About the 1967–1972 Ford F-100
from the generation archive
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 before the 390 was discontinued after 1971. 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.
The story
The truck had been in the family for over 20 years now. The folks we got it from, were getting old and didnt want to drive it anymore. Well, my brother and I got the truck for free. The truck had some crappy bald tires on it, so we put some 31's by brother had from his Bronco. Well the hood, front clip, and left front fender are red, and the rest is 2 tone yellow and white. We are going to be doing alot of work to it, and getting rid of that AM radio! — DrveJeepDrnkBeer
