Resurrected
Picked up this 66 SWB in San Antonio, Tx. Truck is solid. One small area on the drivers side near the drip rail which will need to be addressed. Running little 3.9L 3 speed. Floor shift conversion. Damaged right fender. Purchased with a donor fender which was solid and in great condition. Here are a couple of photos I took while doing the body work.
**looking for factory mirrors** Anyone know a good lead?

I would strip that blue fender. Paint it a flat white. Leave it exposed to the weather.
Get that beauty mechanically 100% .
Then just clear coat it like it is.
That hood couldn't have rusted over more evenly.
That's why I call me rusbukt.
Cool ride!

Thanks. I got this truck running with basic tune up. Had to replace the radiator but other than that, it runs like a champ! Strong little I6.

First Run for this 66 in 20 years. Resurrected from the barn. Basic tune up and a new radiator. Runs strong. Have an exhaust leak but who's counting?

These mirrors are aftermarket. Ford offered several different types of optional outside mirrors. See post 22 in the side mirror sticky. All are obsolete.
The one type that isn't shown in post 22 is the chrome mirror with the 5" round head (^ pic in post 10 ^). It's been reproduced, fits all 1953/66 trucks with the slots in the doors.
