Hello gentlemen,
Last week I learned my '75 F100 4x4 was stolen from Billy Young 4x4 in Tulsa. He was going to do some work to the front axle and noticed it missing. Last Thursday I filed a police report. I've aquired the build sheet from Ford along with a larger folder full of receipts and info. If this isn't apropriate for the forum I apologize. Just don't know where to start. If you guys know of a good place to post this info or have any advice please email me. If anyone runs across this truck please email me at mwdg3@yahoo.com or 918-606-9888
VIN - F11YUV22947 Tag - 855 BAZ
This is the truck as I picked it up in OKC last summer, roll bar stayed with previous owner.
Right side, note damage to the fender well and front bottom of the door skin. Also I installed a new battery, box, clamp, radiator with new shroud all from Obsolete in OKC. The shroud does have a hairline crack front to back on top dead center.
Note the mirror still has the skulls, probably not too many F100 4x4's with this type of mirror. My buddies told me to get rid of it, just never got around to it.

Re: 1975 F100 4x4 stolen
Sorry ot find some {explicits deleted] guy stole your truck. I hope you get it back. IT's good that you have all your recipts and stuff, but the only thing I can say is watch your area. You'd be amazed at how stupid some thiefs are. My buddies '04 F-350 got stolen, adn the thief was dumb enough to put it in in his driveway. found it while coming home from walmart, took a side trip to avoid traffic, and low and behold, it was a block away.
My other suggestion is to watch craigslist and ebay. It may just turn up. good luck man. That's a real [explict deleted] thing to have happen to ya..

Re: 1975 F100 4x4 stolen
Good day MWDG3,
I'm very sorry to hear about your truck! Have you considered joining the Dentside-era edition of this site: FORDification.net and posting there as well?
I'm guessing that a significant percentage of guys in to Ford trucks read online forums from time to time, so perhaps posting in all of the forums you can think of would be a good idea, for maximum coverage. If there's anything I can do to assist you let me know. I have image and video editing skills and my own Web server upon which I could host anything you'd like, like a large video for instance.
I wish you the best of fortunes with recovering your truck MWDG3,
Robroy

Re: 1975 F100 4x4 stolen
Sure sorry to hear about this. I hate a thief. Just a sorry person to steel a man's truck.
I agree about looking on line. I would flood the internet in your area with this. I would also keep a sharp eye on craigslist for your truck or any parts that might have come off of your truck. Most thieves are pretty stupid so with a little work you might find it and put the bum in jail.

Sorry to hear about your truck. My truck when it was still my dads was stolen from San Jose years ago. Luckily, they found it down in Fresno abandoned behind a Safeway. It was tore up pretty good but no major damage. I hope you find your truck.

Why is it that the trucks are always the best running vehicles in the family?
Ford means "found on road daily"

Those types of people need to wake up on the back of a roll back Tow truck being slowly stretched by the wrinch.

I don't want to give em a heart-attack. That is what would happen if I answered the door in the buff. Heck it almost scares me to death when I step out of the shower and look in the mirror.~Mancar1~
