1972 Ford F100 Custom from North America - Comments

I just bought a 1970 Ford F-100 Custom Sport with no idea what I was getting myself into other than I was in love! I am the third owner, the truck is 14 years older than I am. Of course I now have to start doing work on it starting with a new engine- she has a 302 V8 but was not the original. Everyone is telling me to get rid of it and take the loss but I can't! I'm in love! Any suggestions about what to do?

I have a 1972 Ford Ranger. I love my truck. My grandpa gave me it. I put in a new motor (a 460 big block) and a pair of 38 inch mudd boggers. It's a bad ass truck.

Before my grandpa died, he told me to never put a for sale sign on the dash. I promised I never would (may his soul rest in peace) (r.i.p 1929-2008)

I love my 1972 F100 4x4. But kind of have a problem when I'm playing in the mud; no power steering. I can manage, but would love to be able to solve the problem. So I have found were several people have converted the 1972 F100's to power steering. But I have not found enough information to be able to do so myself. If someone has done the project and been very successful please let me know what, how, and were you got the items needed.

Nice. I do have a 1972 F100 Sport custom 4x4, 360/390. I jumps out of holes, not a good freeway truck. It's a beast.

What I did was take the front pulleys off of a 1985 302, and add the power steering pump. You can buy the steering gear at almost any parts store, and you are good to go. You might have to have the hoses custom made.

Try a spring set from a 360 powered truck or 3/4 ton.
