1972 Ford F100 startup

The first start up of my '72 Ford F100 in 5years.
The radiator fan, mount, hoses and belt are shot. Headers are shot. Brakes are shot. Carburetor needs rebuilt.

All of that will come in time. But for now, all that matters is that she runs.

I thought she was a gonner for sure.

@texasn90 Thanks man, I honestly have no idea what year anything on the truck is. It has 3 serial numbers: dash, door, and frame. None of them match. It also has a 289.

@Paiste18 Thanks, man. We all gotta learn sometime! Currently this truck has a blown transmission but the engine is in driving condition.

@haloguru2552, with a engine that hasnt ran in that long the headers are going to smoke. They are going to burn off any oil that is on them, any old paint, dirt, grime, and anything else that is on there. After whatever is on them burns off then they will stop smoking.

Very nice truck man. She looks good and you seem to care for her a good deal. The only thing i noticed was that it has a 1970 grill and steering wheel, so i think that may be what you have, IF it is still as it came from the factory. What motor do you have in her?
