Old Blue ain't slick, but I have been driving it over 45 years, '65 w/'66 grille, 390-C6. I do also have a short wide '66, all original, 6 cyl- 3-speed. Love those trucks !

 

Wide meats on front driver rims...nice touch.

 

Nice trucks on this thread......heres what ive done so far.

Built cab mounts. Also had to fix floors, rockers/steps/door pillars



Installed....

Partly painted and new shoes.
Engine and trans in.

I love these old Fords. I sold my project and of course I regret that. My advice; if you want a short bed, but a short bed. Still plenty of them out there. I found out paying somebody else to (what looks like a fairly simple job) shorten one, is outrageously expensive.

 

Great to see this grand ol' thread resurrected.
Nice ride, Steve. You did an excellent job on that truck. -b

 

What tires/size are those? Looks great!

 

I know I'm late to the party, but I really dig those tires! Are they Cokers, what size? And are the white walls real or Port-a-walls? Looks great either way!

 

Sure does exist, is in New Zealand

 

My work in progress at the bottom, had it a year now and not even taken it round the block getting close though

 

I drug this one home a couple months ago.

 

From this week. Still driving it

 

Hello,

This two-toned F-100 is nicely finished. The paint is very good and the body is smooth and shiny. It looks well taken care of and built up. My wife and I have a thing for this truck. We had seen it driving around the coastal cities when we go for our weekly drives to see the ocean and get back to nature. It gives us time to think and feel good about seeing the deep blue ocean, the bright sun and even on a foggy day, the ocean gives off a vibe that makes anyone absorb what nature can show and give back.

Lately, we have seen the colorful truck parked in an industrial area. The for sale sign was on the rear window and continued to be there for quite some time. so, every time we took a short cut through the industrial area, the blue and white Ford f-100 truck stuck out from its parking place.

It is/was a wonder that no one bought the truck. My wife felt badly about it being for sale for so long and she had hopes it would sell soon. Old trucks and cars are her thing since being a 20 something, driving around in a 327 powered 1940 Ford Sedan Delivery project we finally got finished after spending almost a whole Summer trying to get this project hot rod running and handling correctly.

Once it was finished by us and the expert friend in mechanics of the whole suspension and front end. It was a joy to drive. And drive, she did. Almost daily and most weekends if she had to go on errands or visit a friend. So, since that time of being a daily, active hot rod driver, she has had the inkling to spot any old car we see on the road. Her identifying is still in the question stages, but at least she spots them a long way away and says…”there is an old hot rod up ahead…” YRMV

Note:
At the latest sighting, the for sale sign was taken off and in the direct sunlight, it seems to have been on the receiving end of a nice whole car detailing, again... It is a very nice old truck.

 

My 66.
Drove it to High School.
It was my 1st vehicle I painted, which led me on a 40 year career in Auto collision repair.
Ground up redo 10 years ago.

 

How sexy is this?! Unibody with a Y Block.

 

My '64. T-5 behind a Y Block with stainless headers. Just getting started with this thing.

 

'64. I used to know a guy who had one. He'd always say it was the last year for the straight axle front end.
I'm not much for lowered pickup's but that's a nice truck.

 

Nice! I pretty much have the Chrome Yellow version of that truck! Mine's in F250 trim...
