Hi guys. Thanks for the comments! I have original 8 inch Ford wheels with Granada hubcaps (black and chrome) with 3 inch bands. The pic with the chrome centers are dog dish hubcaps from a 1960 ford, with 3 inch bands. I also run 1964 1/2 Galaxie "330" spinner hubcaps (15 inch) sometimes too.

Here's my '67.



jwmoore89 -- what tires/rims are you running? Specifically, what offset on the rims. Do you have a lift, or is that factory suspension?

Thanks!

Think its 12.5 I'm not home right now so not for sure but it doesn't rub anywhere and there is plenty enough room with the lift. Turning those things without powersteering isn't fun though.

MY 67. A little back story... My Mom found this truck when her and my Dad got married. It was silver and had a 390, 3 on the tree. She traded her firebird for it (smart woman) and gave it to my Dad. When I was born he brought me home from the Hospital in it. He eventually moved the shifter to the floor. Then came a 351w and c4. He gave the truck to my brother in highschool. My brother drove it for a few years and ran it dry on oil and trans fluid. My Dad took it back. I gave him a 302 I had and he built it and put in it. After awhile, it got to where if you drove it, the battery would get real hot. If you left the battery connected over night it would drain it down. He got fed up and said, "Theres a major short in it, im done, you can have it." I picked it up and drove it to the parts store. $12 and new voltage regulator got her fixed right up. On Dec. 3rd '09 my son was born. He and I had a nice ride home from the hospital in the ole '67 a few days later. On to the pics...

I`m glad to see that there`s still such an interest in these old trucks. I think that this particular body style was way ahead of it`s time. Sweet looking rigs, guys! I`m looking forward to restoring mine!
