About the 1980–1983 Ford F-100
from the generation archive
The 1980–1983 Bullnose F-100 might be the last of its line, but these trucks are far from retired — members here have them out on rocky forest trails covered in autumn leaves, buried axle-deep in mud, and hauling custom buggies through the woods. From undercarriage close-ups showing differential and axle setups to rigs rolling on tractor tires, this generation hub captures Bullnose F-100s being built, beaten, and loved by their owners.
