The pump you bought was introduced in 1978 and so...has a plastic reservoir. This pump is smaller in diameter than the 1965/77 pumps which have a steel reservoir.
This means that no FE mounting bracket from a car/truck will bolt to this pump, as the last year for FE's in cars was 1971, 1976 for trucks, and...
The P/S hoses used with this pump are also different than the types used 1965/77.
I agree with what FTE member jowilker sez, buy a 1973/76 F100 FE, 1975/76 F150 FE donor and take all the parts from it, including the disc brakes.
btw: There is no such color as "Royal Maroon" used on any year FoMoCo vehicle. Early Mustang reds were Poppy, Torch and Candy Apple. Candy Apple is a slightly lighter shade than the paint on your truck.
I looked at my 'official' FoMoCo paint chip charts (used at the parts counter), couldn't find anything from the 1960's that matched.
Only Rangoon Red (1961/66) and Poppy Red (1965/66) were available for these trucks. Rangoon Red doesn't match your truck's color.
I have had a auto paint outfit try to figure out the color with a camera he held against a clean flat spot on the side. When I got the call back, they were only able to get "close" nothing they would recomend. They were PPG reps. This is starting to get to be a problem as I would like to re spray a couple of spots. I thank all who are sending info. dc
Hey all. I am the owner of a 1965 Ford F 100 from AZ. She is a beauty with a 352/4 spd 8' box and a/c. I bought the truck thinking it was a stock color but its supposed to be tan according to the tag. My little brother used to have a 1966 camper special which I thought this truck was of the same color. Anybody ever seen this color before?
This color is either H7 or H9 bronze fire. The H7 is a base coat clear coat, the H9 is almost the same color but a tri coat (base coat, mid coat pearl, and clear)
Vintage Burgundy was used up through the 1967 model year. It was called a couple other names, but stopped after 1967. It has a fine metallic to it. Starting in 1968, Ford called it's similar color, Royal Maroon.( although that name was used before ). This color is not metallic, but pretty close to the earlier color. Hope that helps,.
oscoda455. I am not much help. I like the "rootbeer" color. My 1966 is the same color that it was when I got it in 1980. Just recently got it back from father-in-law. As you see the brown paint is coming off in places revealing a teal color which I guess is the original color. I plan on getting body work and repaint back to the rootbeer color. I just hope it turns out looking half as good as yours..
Beautiful truck. You should have taken pictures with the truck in the sun, from a couple of different angles. I like "Rootbeer" for a color. Just need to see it all in the sun.
I painted mine in '98 or '99. It's very similar to yours. It was Ford color used on the Expeditions in '97.
