F100 came with some meager options like a heater , turn signals & cigarette lighter. It has nothing at one point it may have had a radio cause someone had installed a speaker with a crude grill to cover it. Leave exterior alone , clean & restore interior. I got a phone and a Bluetooth speaker for music that will be all the high tech she gets. It’s gonna have a nice interior, pretty much stock but I’ll have a nice seat made for it will custom cover to my specs. When interior is done I will have exterior lightly sanded and a dull clear coat put on it for preservation. Then drive it every chance I get and sell the Ranger. Ford Ranger are great trucks but I’m sick of rangers I’ve had 3 with a total mileage of way over a million miles , well 2 were Mazdas and I miss my International. So  the F100 will become my daily driver  , big fun !

So the turn signals and heater fan are inop. A almost totally manual heater. On the engine is a screw valve to turn off water flow to heater , my Scout 800 had same thing but also had a cable valve. I replaced screw valve with a set of ball valves with the lever , now can isolate coolant in heater from engine but intime core will warm up. So to turn heater on open hood , reach in between the “arm burner” exhaust and the spinning fan and the flip levers , close the hood , get in turn on blower motor , get out open passenger door adjust the two manual vent doors , close door , get back in , oh yeah wait for it to warm up while you towel dry the wind shield just to pass the time . Defroster ahh        ahh        ahhh it has vents coming up and     now if you want defrost do the Chinese fire drill again and close vent doors to get more air flow to defroster that is always on anyways. It’s got a fan knob , off then it’s like a volume control , some bad maybe melted wire. For cooling on a hot day turn off the under hood ball valves , turn vent windows in , open vent in front of windshield , big asz bug catcher but it does have a screen that promptly disassembles the bugs and distributes them at you feet.  Ford , a better idea ?        Grin

Today might be last dry day for a week or so , just weather man gettin excited about something other than Sun. But do some  more on the F100 today then back on Half Pint when it starts raining , some indoor stuff. Try to do the brakes on F100 a bit at a time over the winter and have seat rebuilt.
Think I’m gonna make the wife pay for the brakes and call it a Christmas gift. Living dangerously !
