Another strange thing about F100s that I notice is that that they're often a bit wonky.
not so much crabbing, but more like one rear corner is usually lower than the other?
it's like the ladder frame lacks torsional or diagonal strengthening.
Maybe they were just made to flex?
Many years ago I remember there was a Ford add on TV where this F150 has a big landcruiser ute mounted on it's rear tray and it was just powering up a rocky hill. and the whole time you could see the F150 frame flexing like crazy.
I think they may have even said in the add that it was meant to do it.
Yeah I reckon you're right OB,my mate had a 70's model just a few years ago and I used to drive it every now and then.To me when I was driving it the ute back seemed out of sync with the cab on rough roads or when you hit a pot hole,a bit wonky like you said.Maybe it's got something to do with how the back tray is mounted,dunno
,I know those ute backs rusted quite easily!...
