  1973 FORD F-100 Ranger XLT

  Year: 1973Make: FordModel: F-100Price: $7400Mileage: 67350Color: green/whitePrivate or Dealer Listing: Private ListingLocation (State): FLTransmission: AutomaticDrivetrain: Rear Wheel DriveEngine: 360 V-8

  This pains me to no end, but I feel that it is finally time to let go of my baby, Daisy. She is a 1973 Ford F-100 Ranger XLT. 67,350 miles on the 360 V-8 and C-6 tranny. I purchased the truck in late 2006 with approximately 64,000 miles on her. At the time, she was all original. I brought her home and made a few mods, but otherwise have left her alone and have only put 3,000 miles or so on her in nearly 4 years! Mods that I made to the truck --

  - Reflex spray in bedliner

  - American Racing Torq-Thrust II 17" wheels and new tires

  - Edelbrock chrome air cleaner with K&N filter

  - Accel electronic ignition (does away with the points)

  - Flowmaster dual exhaust with chrome side exits (sounds amazing)

  - Custom Autosound speaker in the dash. Speaker is a dual voice coil speaker designed for this application that allows the woofer section and mid/high section to be powered separately. It is powered by a Kenwood 4 channel amp behind the seat. Stock head unit has been bypassed and I now play my iPod straight through the amp. The system sounds great.

  - Rockford Fosgate 8" woofer behind the seat also powered by the Kenwood Amp.

  - Dynamat sound dampening under headliner, in doors, and some under the hood

  - Undercoating under most of the truck

  The truck is a true time machine. The interior is gorgeous with only one small tear in the fabric on the seat (right where your butt sits). The truck came with custom made canvas seat covers that I never really used until the tear in the seat happened. Now the bottom section of the cover is used.She does have factory A/C that worked great for most of the time that I have owned the truck, but just recently stopped blowing cold. I haven't bothered to fix it because I honestly don't really need it. The compressor kicks on, so I know that that part is functioning, but the rest is a mystery to me.She has dual fuel tanks. Since the day I bought her, the gauge for the main tank has never registered. Because I have no need for carrying around that much fuel, I have always just run off the Aux tank and used that gauge, which works great.Otherwise, all electrical works wonderfully. New headlights recently installed.The truck drives amazing. Tight steering, smooth ride, engine runs like a dream. The 360 has never been known as the fastest engine in the FE lineup, but it was built to run forever. I have taken care of her with regular oil changes using only Castrol synthetic oil. No leaks anywhere.The rear tires show some wear on the inside edges. These were originally on the front of the truck when I put on the new wheels and after I had some steering parts replaced (center link), I drove it thinking that the alignment was fine. Well, it was off just enough to wear down that part of the tire. They have been moved to the rear, alignment and rotation was done, and now everything is A-Ok (steering wheel is a hair off center when driving straight).I also just recently had the steering column rebuilt with a new shift column and collar.As far as the body goes, she is a true 20 footer. The truck is just a flat out beautiful rig and gets compliments everywhere I go. But, once up close, she does show signs of surface rust coming through the paint. There are some dings and scratches, a few dinged moldings, etc. This truck is NOT a show/trailer queen. It is a regular driver that I bought to help me move into my new house, to carry my fishing gear, etc...As time rolls on, however, I find myself feeling guilty for using her for daily driver purposes. I now want a truck that I can use, abuse, and not feel bad about it. I also need a truck that can tow a large boat. The wife will not allow me to try to justify owning TWO trucks!

  Anyways, I know I'm leaving out a ton of info. So, please just ask questions and I can provide answers and pictures. I want this truck to go to someone who will take care of her and treat her the way that I always wanted to.

  Located in Key West, FL.

  NADA places the truck anywhere from 4,000 to 10,000, depending on condition. I am asking $7,400.I am also willing to consider trades for a more modern tow vehicle (F-250, Ram, diesel, etc.)Call me at 305-797-7700 or email at cbrindisi@hotmail.com

  The sixth generation of the Ford F-Series is a line of pickup trucks and medium-duty commercial trucks that were produced by Ford from 1973 to 1979. These were the last generation of trucks to use the F-Series chassis introduced in 1965. After a decade as a compact SUV, the Bronco was redesigned as a shortened version of the F-Series. This generation also marks the introduction of the F-150, which today is the most popular model.

  This generation is noted for the body panels' durability as Ford used extensive amounts of galvanized sheet metal to fight corrosion. In 1976, the F-Series became the best-selling trucks in America, a position it has continued to hold ever since.

  In 1973, a new model was offered — the F-350 SRW (single rear wheel) pickup. These were new heavy-duty pickups made with contractors and camping enthusiasts in mind. They rode on longer-wheelbase chassises but were the same overall length as an F-100 or F-250 pickup. Ordering the Camper Special package for the F-350 SRW made it a "Super Camper Special", which was designed for the much heavier slide-in campers coming on the market at that time.

  For 1974, the F-Series became available in an extended cab for the first time. Dubbed as the "SuperCab", it offered the six-passenger seating of the crew cab in a slightly shorter length. For 1975, the F-150 was introduced; as part of an effort to circumvent upcoming emissions requirements, this truck was designed with a heavier maximum payload (2,275 lb (1,032 kg) when properly equipped) than the F-100. With the half-ton F-100 still in production, the new F-150 was referred to as the "heavy half-ton".

  1976-1977[edit]

  In 1975 (1976 model year), this familiar "split-grille" design was facelifted slightly to feature black accents around the headlights and a refined appearance overall.

  1977 models received a redesign of exterior trim, with the cowl insignias made smaller and moved near the windshield. It also would be the last year of the medium-duty F-500.

  1978-1979[edit]

  For 1978, the appearance of the F-Series changed the most since 1972, when the split grille was overhauled in favor of a single-piece grille insert design. Much larger than before, the grille no longer incorporated the headlights or the turn signals. The headlights were placed in housings beside the grille, and the park/turn signal lamps were now placed below them. Additionally, a new chrome-plated letter set reading "F O R D" could now be seen on the hood immediately above the grille. In 1977 (1978 models), the round headlight design was retained for the Custom trim level. A luxury "Lariat" trim was also introduced for 1978; Ranger, Ranger XLT, and Ranger Lariat trim levels incorporated rectangular headlights with optional chrome headlight doors and the chrome grille insert. For 1979, round headlights were completely replaced by rectangular ones and the surrounding grille insert that framed the headlights was now available in either black, or chrome to match that of the aluminum grille frame.

  Also new for 1978 was the addition of a four-wheel drive supercab in either part- or full-time four-wheel drive. Full-time four-wheel drive utilized a chain driven np203 transfer case whereas the part-time four-wheel drive was equipped with a gear driven np205. The np203 shift pattern was (from farthest forward position to farthest back position) "Lock, Low, Neutral, High, Lock". The np205 shift pattern was (from farthest forward position to farthest back position) "4 Low, Neutral, 2 High, 4 High". 1979 was the first year a four wheel drive f350 supercab was offered.

  F100 F101 F102 F103 F104 F105 F106 F107 F108 F109 F10N: 1/2 ton (4,550–5,700 GVWR max) F110 F111 F112 F113 : 1/2 ton (4×4)(5,250–6,500 GVWR max) F150 F151 : "heavy" 1/2 ton (6,050–6,200 GVWR max(6,050–6,500 GVWR max) F250 F251 F252 F253 F254 F255 F256 F257 F258 F259: 3/4 ton (6,200–8,100 GVWR max) F260 F261 F262 F263 F264 F265 F266: 3/4 ton (4×4) (6,500–8,400 GVWR max) F350 F350 F351 F352 F353 F354 F355 F356 F357 F358 F359 F35P: 1 ton (6,000–10,000 GVWR max) F-360: 1 ton (4×4) (8,550 GVWR max)

  The GVWR ratings for these trucks was tied to a combination of wheel, spring, axle and brake combinations. The series code on the ID tag denotes which model and from that it can be determined what weight rating each vehicle has. 4×4 trucks can also be identified by the Vehicle Identification Number and on the ID plate as a serial number. For example, F10 is an F-100 2-wheel drive, but F11 is an F-100 4×4, and so on. Serial numbers beginning with an "X" are SuperCab models.

  Custom Ranger Ranger XLT Lariat (1978-1979)

  An optional "Explorer" trim package was available with the "Ranger" trim level.

  Ford Australia assembled right-hand drive sixth generation F-Series that were fitted with a lineup of locally sourced engines.

  1973-1975[edit]

  Initially they were available with US sourced 240 and 300 CID Straight-6 engines. From August 1974 the 240 CID engine was replaced with locally sourced 250 CID Straight-6 and the 300 CID was replaced by the locally sourced 302 Cleveland V-8 engines. The 302 Cleveland was a destroked 351 Cleveland built using tooling exported to Australia after the closure of the Cleveland production line.

  1976-1977[edit]

  The 250CID Straight-6 was upgraded with a new crossflow head and rebadged as the 4.1 litre, increasing power and lowering emissions to meet new legislation being introduced.

  1978-1979[edit]

  In 1978, the 351 Cleveland V-8 replaced the 302 Cleveland in the F-250 and F-350. The 302 Cleveland continued alongside the 351 Cleveland in the F-100. The 4.1 litre continued to be sold across the range. In 1979, the F-250 and F-350 had an automatic gearbox as an option for the first time in Australia.

  Ford Bronco[edit] Main article: Ford Bronco 1978-1979 Ford Bronco (modified)

  Starting in 1978, Ford redesigned their Ford Bronco and based it upon the F-150. The Bronco was now nearly identical to the F-150 with the addition of a removable camper shell. The new Bronco incorporated design characteristics which eliminated leaky roofs and body flex associated with other full size removable top utility vehicles of the era. This allowed Ford to compete better with the Chevrolet Blazer by offering a larger and more luxurious SUV while minimizing production costs since many (especially the most complex and expensive) parts were shared with the F-series trucks. The Bronco was only offered with the 351M and 400 V8 engines.

  Medium-Duty[edit] 1976 Ford F600 Custom Cab in use as a fire pumper

  Largely unchanged since 1967, medium duty-trucks saw little change during the 1970s. Post-1973 models are most easily distinguished by their larger headlight surrounds in the grille in comparison to 1967-1972 models. In 1977, a 370 cubic-inch version of the 460 V8 replaced the previous FE engines. Shared with the L-Series trucks, the Caterpillar 3208 V8 became an option in F700 and F800 models; diesel-powered trucks were distinguished by an extra "0" (i.e., F-7000/F-8000). The lowest-GVWR F-500 was discontinued after 1977.

  Appearances in media[edit]

  The television series Arrested Development prominently features the Bluth family driving a 1978 (mostly) Ford F-350 airport stair car after they had to sell the company jet and the new owners didn't want it. The stair car is featured in many gags throughout the show, including an inmate trying to use the stairs to escape over the fence when the Bluths visit their dad, who was incarcerated in prison. A mid-1980s model F-350, and a 1967-72 F-350 updated with a late '70s grille have also been used. The stair car was also used by Netflix in public appearances to promote Arrested Development's 2013 resurrection.[1]

  1973 f100 Ranger XLT

  Year: 1974Make: FordModel: F-100Price: $6500Mileage: 47996Color: RedPrivate or Dealer Listing: Private ListingLocation (State): SCTransmission: AutomaticDrivetrain: Rear Wheel DriveColor: RedEngine: 302

  Very original Ranger XLT. Factory Candy apple red, mostly original paint from what I can tell. Interior original and awesome. Body is Solid! Underneath has surface rust, but no holes. Drives great. A/C was added on at sometime in it's life, and works well.

  From what I know about it, it sat in a metal storage container for 12 years before I got it from a buddy of mine that found it from a guy that owed him money (lol) It had plastic on the seat that I pulled off a few weeks ago.

  When I got the truck, the brakes had been replaced. I've since replaced the fuel pump, Carb, plugs and wires, Valve cover gaskets, and the tires.

  I have all the original manuals for it. Also the build sheet that was under the seat, with the original owner and dealer info.

  I don't think the wheels were factory in 73. They look nice on it though

  I can send you pics of anything you'd like, just let me know. I'll take them and add them to the thread if requested. Make me an offer.

  Don't want to sell. Loss of wife's job means some toys need to go....At least i'll still have my 87 and two mustangs.

  Yes, tagged and registered. Bed is solid, only surface rust. I was going to line it, but wanted anyone that may be interested in it to see it's true condition. From what I can tell, yes, it's the original engine. I've sent you an email.

  Here is a link to all of the pics I took today. Any questions, email me.
