newbie here

Post by aramil »

hello everyone, i've wanted one of these trucks from the first time i saw my cousins old 76. yesterday. a couple of days ago i traded to ford ltds for a 72 f-100. it has a 360 and the body very rusty but the chassis isn't eaten away yet just the cab and bed. i was wondering if i took the front end off of a 75 if it would bolt on with out too much trouble.

First off welcome to the site it is the best on the internet!!!!!!! :fr:
Which front end are you talking about the suspension or the sheet metal?
The bodies are completely different!!!! One has a dent the other has a bump so they wont line up or look anywhere decent!!!!
but the suspension will bolt in!!!

Welcome aboard!
Don't be too hasty bolting that dentside sheet metal on there just yet. Look in the Parts For Sale area or post in the Parts Wanted area for some good sheet metal.

i cant afford new panels, but i am talkin about the inside wheel wells and maybe the radiator support. it looks like i would have to drill new holes for the hood hinges but it looks like it would work. my dads going to weld on some patch panels for the quarter panels after we clean up the rust.

:wel: :fr: Yes, the inner fenders and core support off of a dentside (73-79) will work with slight modification. There are a bunch of guys here using those parts on their bumpsides (67-72). :thup:
