Help!

[460 Custom]

Help! Ive recently acquired this (what i was told) is a early 70's Ford F-100 Custom with a Ford 460ci installed. I have searched the "Identifying '67-'72 Trucks" But could not match these pictures I have to any of the great info. Any help is appreciated!

good eye. Where's the cab fuel filler hole and in-cab tank?

Best way to tell is get the vin off the passenger side frame rail, and use the vin identifyer to narrow it down.

it is a 73-79 . you cna tell by where the door hinges bolt on and the dent inthe body line behind where the door goes. also note the door sticker vin is gone. so probably the only vin you may find is the one on the frame and maybe one on the door if you are lucky. www.fordification.net

. It's a Dent-side ('73-'79) F-100, doesn't mean it's not an early '70s truck just that it's not a Bump. If you can get the VIN then here's a link to decode it: http://www.fordification.net/tech/vin.htm. Good luck with the truck! That 460 should be a lot of fun .

To answer Bobbyford, the fuel tank, as of now, is located between the frame right behind the rear axle and the filler neck on the left side of the vehicle. And thanks guys, ill see about locating the VIN number off the frame.

Thanks guys! And yes, I havent been able to find the VIN yet as its been raining today, but yes, I went to look at the body parts hidden away in a trailer and it appears to be a Dentside

either being a bump or a dent you have a good truck for a foundation. any help that you my need we are more than glad to help you out.

No doubt it is a dentside, you can clearly see the dent on the B-pillar. And it that isn't enough, it has a newer brake booster and the frame is different. Don't worry thought dentsides are almost as cool as bumps

I thought a slick was the next best thing to a bump

I Love em all! I've had Slicks, Bumps and Dents and they all were my favorites at the time I owned and cared for em'. As long as they're Fords, that's all that matters to me.
