1966 Ford F100 Red Manual

I know I don't need this, but it's reeeel purdy. Is that a fair price?

 

id pay 3000 for that truck on the looks in the pictures but you gotta look at the mechanical stuff too..

 

Custom Cab paint job without the trim. The inside is a little rough. Take him $2200.00 cash and say this is all I have.

They might get the asking but with the economy like it is, it wont go fast.

It looks pretty clean compared to what we can get here, that truck could probably fetch $3500 to $4000. I would do what John said you may walk a way with a great truck at a great price.

 

Hi Jowilker
I like your 66 Bossman! I noticed that your cab roof is not painted the body color blue. Is that factory original style or personal preference or both? Thanks

 

The way I found it.

My 66 F250 is painted the same way. But, I have gleamed from the board that if it is 2 tone then the cab is also 2 tone?

 

of course never pay full price... but its still a good looking truck... then again... that paint could just be a little bit of make up on the old girl(or possibly a paper bag instead of make up??)

 

Looks like a nice truck. People generally price things with the expectation that someone will try to talk them down a little. So I agree with the others to go for it, but not at the full price.
I sure wish I could've found one like that when I was looking. But about everything here in the midwest is a rustbucket.

 

the pictures make it look like a solid truck but looks can be deceiving.

WHen it has such a sloppy paint job it makes you wonder what's really underneath. To me any nice solid rust free truck thats not full of bondo is worth the 3k especially in the rust belt states. This truck though would think the value less because of the sloppy paint and wonder whats underneath. It would be cheaper in long run to buy a DONE truck unless someone wants a project truck and is able to do it themselves

 

How does it look underneath? Any holes in the cab floor, rust around the 6 cab mounts? rust under the hood (like the core support or where the fenders mount to the cab)? Another thing to look for is rust repair. I know my truck isn't worth as much because it's had major floor pan and inner rocker panel repairs. If you get under it and go over it like you're examining a crime scene, rust holes or welded patches will catch your attention if they exist.

 

It's a Standard Cab, but the tu-tone paint is correct as are the (now missing) side mouldings. You can see the existing clip holes on the cab corners where the mouldings originally attached.

Both side mouldings and tu-tone were optional on 1965/66 Standard, Custom Cabs and Rangers, were not part of any package.

It was also possible to order tu-tone paint without the side mouldings.
