Junkyard Find: 1971 Ford F-100 Pickup

We saw a 1979 Ford F-series pickup in Denver a couple of months back, and now the very same yard has this '71 as well. It's eight years older, but appears to be from an entirely different era… which it was.
In 1971, emission-control hardware was starting to make some inroads on engine performance, but compression ratios were still reasonably high. Nobody imagined that the Arabs would jack up oil prices in just a couple of years, either.
Pickups weren't intended for use as daily-driven, amenity-crammed suburban commuters, as they are today, but someone went to the trouble of installing seats out of a conversion van into this one.
Designer Craft!
