Vehicle Description
West Coast Classics presents a customized 1972 Ford F100 Full Size
1/2 ton Pick Up with the desirable optional factory upgrade of the
'Y' code FE 360 Big Block V8 engine matched to a 4 speed Top Loaded
Heavy Duty manual transmission!The sixth generation of the F Series
is a line of 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 has a custom
interior and has been repainted - the original Big Block 360 V8
engine is extremely strong and responsive, the 4 speed manual
transmission shifts smoothly through the gears and the engine
temperature always remains cool.
