In Don’s defense, I tweaked the bumper after he and I met so the bumper in the pictures has been “adjusted” since he’s seen the truck. All it needed was a strategically placed bottle jack and a one foot piece of 6x6 left over from my pole barn.

As for your bumper……mine wasn’t that bad, but had the very same symptoms. I’ll bet I could bend that baby back to near perfect.

 

Thought you all may be interested in seeing what I've accomplished with my 66 F11 to date. Not much of a change, but a step in the right direction.....I had the original steel wheels that came on the truck powder coated off-white and new Goodyear "Extra-Grip" 31x10.5x15 tires put on them. I purchased what I think (from Bill's description) are the correct Stainless Steel hubcaps for the back two wheels. Still the same old front bumper though. I'm hopefull next weekend will allow time to at least get started on that. Thanks again for everyones input and help. I added one new picture on my Photobucket account that shows the new improoved look.

Maybe I didnt look close enough but this is the same link as before. Truck still looks the same.

 

Most of the pictures are the same ones as before. I only added one new picture. It's the first one (top left) when I log in. Not sure if it will be the same for you. Don't get too excited....there isn't a huge difference. I'm happy with the results though.

 

Looks good R..drop me an email...looking to get quotes on powdercoating and seeing what kind of products they have.
did you take the ole girl out in our foot of recently departed snow ??

No, I drove my F-150 around in the snow. I have the 66 at work today though.
I had the powder coating done down in Aberdeen at a place called Advanced Powder Coating. I had the wheels sand blasted, primed, and two coats of powder applied. They turned our flawless (probably a little too good for the rest of the truck). I paid $375.00 to have all that done and delivered to my home in Olympia (I drove them down in my truck). Is that about what you guys are paying where you live?

I cleaned my desk off and seem to have mis-placed your number. I know It's here somewhere, I'm just not sure where. We should talk....I need a few more parts you'll probably have.

Looks good with the steele wheels and the hub caps. Im going to be going for the same look on both of my 4x4s.

 

Thanks to Squire Don my new (well, new to me) bumper is in place.

I repaired/replaced the floor pans and am in serch of a floor mat to finish her off. Anybody have a NOS or know where to find a close match to what came in the truck from FoMoCo? best I can tell, it needs a 04-BEIGE. Carpenters couldn't help.

Sweet truck the steel wheels are starting to grow on me. Maybe i will put a set on mine!!!

 

I appreciate the kind words. I'm really happy with the way it turned out too. I receive a lot of compliments when I take her out.

Thanks again Squire Don for your help. I owe you.

We all owe Don, And ND Bill and the others like them. They are what makes this site as awesome as it is.

The best way to thank them is with rep points. Or just send them money

 

Agreed !!

I surely didn't intend to imply Squire Don was the only help I had. (He did supply me with a dandy bumper though).

 

I like the 15x 8 steel wheels, I have all the factory style, with more options like wide trim rings and different caps. big or small.
