This is another 1966 F100 with PRIME sheet metal. Nary a ding inside the box. Such a find. (under 200.00 for truck) This will most likely get turned into a Coyote 5.0 10 Speed 4x4 but gotta get others done first.
1963 Wrong bed has a 1955 292 no plans to build this truck but cannot seem to give it away here. Rust spot on pass floor but a very nice cab no need for floor pans. could be bought for 500 as is not inc doors

1964 Short bed with incredible sheet metal! Total original paint truck not messed with. Restoration was started by prior owner but gave up.
Options for this one are sell, 2.7 eco swap, or a way out there 3.0 V-6 FWD Swap for a very economical daily driver. Since its like being buried in alligators with so many projects this one may just go away. The cab on this truck is downright incredible. AZ California truck since new dry as a bone . .

Its getting tough to find here too at decent prices. Still tons of builder trucks avail that are straight and rust free for around 3000.00.
Anything more than a hour or so rust repair and I simply pass.
Fenders, hoods, cabs, boxes getting very hard to find. Doors seem to be very plentiful nice straight ones can be had for 100.00 or less.
Fenders around 300 ea for really nice. hoods north of 500
Core supports getting near impossible to find rust free ones
Boxes with good floors near impossible to find also unless you buy a complete truck.

That's what I'm going to build minus the eco boost. My dad bought a '66 F100 Short Bed CC 2WD when I was just a little kid. That was the first pickup I ever drove, always wanted that truck with four wheel drive. I could have bought one last year that came out of Nevada and even that had some rust issues although not bad by East coast standards. Price was almost 8K though, so instead I'm building my own. I just started a few weeks ago shortening my 8' bed. Still undecided on an engine, truck has what seems to be a good running 352 but I'm thinking maybe a 5.0 and 4R70W out of an Explorer. The last of the pushrod Ford V8's. Anyway, would love to see you do a 4x4.

My vote is for the short bed. I just always liked the short beds, even cut down my '86 F350 4x4 years ago to make it a short bed. In '86 the only way to get a Ford 4x4 without TTB was the F350, solid axle dana 60 in the front and a factory installed 460.

The 1966 F100 4x4 2.7 eco build is on! Since I already have majority of parts. Why not. 3.0 v-6 into ‘64 short bed on back burner. 2.7 swap is happening just a few not so sure’s yet. Uploading pics now.This will be on a tight budget. If enough interested I can break down all costs of doing such a project and how simple it really is. Especially doing a 4x4. The costs will be a fraction of restoring back to original.I cannot begin to do a proper original restoration $$ wise or time wise. And yes it will be a original F11 chassis

Donor Truck
2015 F150 XLT 4x4 2.7 Eco 2350.00 complete it ran and kinda drove. Left front was hit hard axle suspension broke. Opened like a tin can as it rolled down a embankment.
Marked BIO HAZ but was actually not. Chemical HAZ marking too but was not. Most likely reason it was bought so cheap.

Got back on my '66 427 powered truck a couple months back. Had hoped to have it ready for the drive away veh in my daughters wedding but only 3 weeks left so not looking good.

Here is where I am at now on it
