I have an 84 I6/auto 4x4. i got it for $150 and had to put a flex plate and starter in it. It spends most of its time parked in the driveway cause it knocks like hell. Right now it has a load of scrap (1 cab, suspension parts, and 1.5 frames) and its waiting for a decent day to go to the yard to get some moo-lah.

I believe '83 was the last year of the F-100, and the '80s F-100 have a 4.5" lug pattern.
