pickup trucks and medium-duty commercial trucks that were produced
by Ford from 1972 to 1979. This generation was launched in December
1972 for the 1973 model year. These were the last generation of
trucks to use the F-Series chassis introduced in 1965. After a
decade as a compact SUV, the Ford Bronco was redesigned as a
shortened version of the F-Series. This generation also marks the
introduction of the F-150 (introduced in 1975) which today is the
most popular model.This generation is noted for the body panels'
durability as Ford used extensive amounts of galvanized sheet
metal, zinc coated steel, zinc rich primer and fender liners, to
fight corrosion. In 1976, the F-Series became the best-selling
trucks in America, a position it has continued to retain ever
since. Galvanized inner front fender aprons and zinc coating with
rust-resistant primer helped prevent rust. Air conditioner vents
were integrated into the dash, and the blower was moved to the
engine compartment. The result: less noise in the cab and space for
a much larger glove box.This truck is one extraordinarily well
restored and upgraded with a Cam kit etc and which must be seen and
driven to be fully appreciated - the original Big Block 390 4BBL V8
engine is extremely strong and responsive, the transmission shifts
smoothly through the gears and the engine temperature always
remains cool. In summary, this is one very extraordinarily fine
example of this increasingly collectible and desirable 1974 year of
the legendary full size Ford F100 pick up in rare turn-key ready,
daily appreciating, daily driving and daily head-turning condition
and an all time classic American truck with it's original Big Block
V8 engine and fully loaded with factory options!
