RPO in grease pencil on firewall. 5M in 3 or 4 diff places incl bottom side of hood, box, firewall and back of cab.
Original "Orange" on firewall. Note the 429 in grease pencil. Vin says 66 429
Another 5M by master cylinder
I was told it was 2 of 9 in this color combo for this dealer. 2 here
2/9 here. pretty obvious this truck was not RED originally. Too many years have gone by to know what really went on back then. I was thinking a original AZ truck would have come from San Jose vs Texas..

Thanks for the update on it. Your truck always reminded me of my dads he was the second owner of it bought it in the 80's. The original owner (still lives 3 miles away) he ordered it candy apple red and white custom cab short bed and in 67-68 he decided the 352 didn't have enough power and he knew some one in Oregon who had 67 gt500 who hit a poll with it and was parting it out so he Swapped that engine in. Unfortunately my dad never ended up with the 427 it was swapped back out to a 390gt before he bought it.

Eco2 gets 2017 F-250 wheel swap. I still have stock steel wheel along with a set of chrome steel that have been on it for many years.
These are so when the need arises I can have a bit more traction for that 1/4 mile pass.
Tires are GoodYear F1's. Prob not good for the BEST MPG and not quite sure how a larger tire will work on front with stock steering but will see. Same size tire as used on Eco1.

Thanks! 7000 miles so far and pure bliss driving it. Taking my 2nd trip to california in next couple weeks. Great cruiser with a 3.15 gear and 3 overdrive gears. 85 mph is around 2100 rpm. Still gets 19 mpg at high speeds. Could not be happier in how it drives. Now the big chore will be to tear it apart for paint. Gettin' OLD so not sure when that will happen as have 2 other '66 trucks to paint first. No doubt winding down on fixing/repairing/restoring stuff.

Eco1 has been sold!
I sold Eco1 a week ago Saturday!
best veh I have owned out of 300+ vehicles
i put just over 11,000 miles on it. Simply too many large projects to get done.
Started back on Eco2 this past Friday & have parts on order for the Orange/White 427 shortbed.
Decided to make some major changes to 427 truck to make it more “drivable “
pic when I figure out how.
