This is my Daily/tow rig... 1985 Ford F100 LWB.
It's an arizona import, bought into australia around 1990. It was originally 351 Cleveland, top loader 4 speed and a 3.55 geared 9 inch. was converted to auto when it was converted to RHD.
I bought it of some old guy who was using it just to tow his fishing boat around once a week for the princely sum of $5000. As it Has factory power steering, power assisted brakes, Air-con and a tacho dash (full XLT options) it was a hell of a bargain. It also came with every single receipt for every single dollar he'd spent on it, even full regency paperwork for compliance, the engine change and LPG conversion
It's no drag car, but it's comfy, has some grunt, tow the 86 without breaking a sweat, and I can mod it but not get hassled by the 5-0. And it's column shift so pretty thug haha.
here's what it has
