Nice F100

Much of it incorrect, but a nice looking truck. I wonder how the guy got the C10 bumper to work.

1965 f100 restoation pick up

That bumper does not look good on that truck. It re-shapes the front of the truck making it to square/boxy I don't know just doesn't look right. Titled as 65 but has 66 grille and 66 fender emblems. Can't tell for sure on steering wheel, probably a grant. Other than that......?????
I know you said "Much of it incorrect" and your right, It just doesn't look right.

Actually I like the bumper. Don't know if I would do it to my truck, but its different and non Slick owners wouldn't know the difference.

Im tempted to run down and take a look at this one.

1965 grilles and fender emblems are not reproduced, 1966's are.

And: FoMoCo obsoleted the 1965 grilles in September 1965, replaced them with 1966 grilles for use as "service part replacements."

If the red and white truck are before pic's that one has a lot of bad rust
around the drip rails. I wonder how well it was repaired and makes me
think it had or has other rust problems that may or may not have been
properly repaired. One should look it over good with a magnet me thinks.

So now I know how to make a 1966 F-100 look like a 1974 Pinto with that hideous first year Federally mandated bumper.

Don't like the fact that he couldn't remove the toolbox before painting the bed.
