Ford's F-series trucks got a mid-cycle refresh for the 1970 model year. The bottom end of the lineup was the Custom, like this Raven Black example. Above that was the Sport Custom, the Ranger, and the Ranger XLT.
The F-100 could be had with a 6½ or 8 foot bed and in two- or four-wheel-drive configurations. The standard powerplant was the 240 cubic inch OHV inline six, making 150 horsepower, and the bigger 300 cube six, rated at 165 horsepower was also available.
The V-8 choices for 1970 consisted of the 302 V-8, with 205 horses, the 360 cube FE big block, rated at 215 SAE gross horsepower, and the 390 FE motor pumping out 255 ponies. All were capable of running on regular gasoline. The base gearbox was a 3-speed manual, with a four-on-the-floor and the 3-speed Ford Cruise-O-Matic as extra cost options.
The '70 F100 Custom in the picture was photographed with a Fujifilm X-T2 and XF 16-80mm f/4 R WR OIS zoom lens in June of 2021.
