Could we see some pictures? Here is how.


But I got ta say becoming a supporter is the fastest and easiest way to post pics right from
your whatever pad/cell thing or home computer.
Few of us look in the users Gallery or album as you can see by your recent visitors.

It seems awkward, but whenever you "insert a picture" to one of these threads, the forum is looking for the picture somewhere on the web (which is always available) rather than from somewhere on your hard drive (which isn't always available).

While you're making a post on FTE, select the pic you want to post from your Photobucket album. When the large version of the pic is open, right mouse click on it and select "View Image Info". The image info will be highlighted and will look something like this:
The best photos and videos | Photobucket

Copy that highlighted info (right click / copy).

When you have the spot in your post where you want the pic to be placed, select the "Insert Image" icon at the top of the post (looks like a mountain) and paste (right click / paste) the image info you copied in the highlighted box (just shows "http://" when it opens).

Your pic will be placed in the post.

Hope that helps.

Here's a tutorial Bob put together: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/67...-pictures.html

If you look at the backside of that mirror you can see a blob of gray showing through, looks like a Cobra snake. I'm thinking that's where it took the hit.

Check out his album here.

You Are correct and very observant.

That is the truck and the damage you refer to is shown on the picture.

And did you see the picture of the mirror I posted? Looks like the correct mirror? I just bought one on eBay for $35 that was painted Wimbledon white and is minty except for one nick in the paint so they are out there. I'll help look.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/251314007085...84.m1497.l2649

I'm getting as bad as ND where I edit posts too often...

And notice how the rivet heads are not painted. Not sure how they did that unless it was assembled after the pieces were painted. Tiny detail...

I need to get out to the barn to take a closer look but i'm quite certain that is the mirror.

In his post number 9 the word is

That is the truck

It's not too hard to keep track of them. There's not that many left.

1966 F250 4x4 that are authentic? I've personally seen probably less than 50 in my lifetime despite loving them since a very young age. Some are on newer incorrect frames. Many claim to be 1966 4x4 but the VIN is F25 instead of F26 and it's obviously a converted 2x4. Beds that have been swapped out. This last one is not a huge deal as long as you don't butcher the frame needlessly. But, this yellow truck looks authentic to me as does the white one.

Look at how the bed lines up to the cab on the Yellow one.
That aint right. We are debating it in the Yellow truck thread.
But Ya, I thing it's is a factory set up. Just beat to heck.

Here's the link to it

Authentic

The white one is authentic all the numbers match and yes it does look like the "wrong bed" description is appropriate. Lots written in previous posts on these configurations. The gentleman who operates Rustfree classics was very fair, efficient and lived up to his word. I bought and had mine delivered without ever seeing it personally. Buyer beware..... Not recommending for everyone but it worked for me and I was happy to be into my truck with two phone calls.
