My '66 F100 Custom Cab

here is a picture of my 66 F100 Custom Cab. I would love to find a set of original wheels and hubcaps for it if anyone has any that they would part with. Mine has Rotunda underdash A/C, 352 V8, 3 Speed auto trans, and 43,000 miles on it. It is missing the passenger side outside mirror which I have yet to find and the radio does not work. It lights up but there is no sound. I have not investigated this issue yet. Also, the antanee is broken off. Other than those minor issues, it is a great truck. I am really loving this website !

You can get a set of wheels at a wrecking yard not to sure about hubcaps. My 66 had only 38k on it when I bought it, now it is getting close to 51k on it. don't have the orignial wheels on it but still have them,even have the spare tire for it and the hanger still under the bed.

Yes, I absolutely need to hit some salvage yards. Anyone in the Dallas-Ft.Worth area know of any good ones?

Sharp Slick; Looks awesome. I have 5 hubcaps remaining from my hunting days; maybe I'll depart from them one day. The hubcaps are usually on eday; range from daily driver condition like mine to top dollar OEM. The rims are easier to fitch. Once found, just measure the distance on the hump mounts (not proper name). I don't recall off the top of my head on the measurement; but someone with alot more knowledge will know here. Again nice truck.

Great truck!!! I'm doing a frame off on a 1966 custom cab just like yours. Been in the family since 1970. About half way there on the restor.....looking for orginal rims myself otherwise everything else is original. Live in Northwest Arkansas now. Used to live in DFW.

Question for ya> what color red is that. My paint code shows a signal flare red. Looks very simular to your color. Tried to P.M. you but was not authorized?

If you have time could you post more pictures.
thx.
