Thanx for the info Bill. The truck has been painted a couple times, It left San Jose dressed in Wimbledon White. I do believe that the box has been replaced as there is no evidence of the spare tire carrier bolt holes. I will eventually strip the bumper and repaint it white as well as the mirrors and brackets. I bought it to drive and use...not sure how kind Michigan's U.P. backroads will be to those mirrors anyway!

Awesome looking truck. The side lights on the bed that line up with the bump are from a 1970-1972 bed. (Not that anyone would notice.) Either way, the tire / rim choice was well made. Any photos of the interior?

Pretty utilitarian interior. I will get some pics tonite. The original dash pad has a big crack dead center. At one time someone glued a cover to it and it now has a carpeted cover that looks pretty decent. After seeing the price of the replacements made on supposed factory tooling, the carpeting looks even better. Again thanx for all the nice compliments. The only other "thumbs up" vehicle that I ever owned was my '72 MGB. I should not say that, as I have had a dozen Ford trucks from a '59 F-100 4x4 to a '76 F-250, I forget how many 64's I burned thru growing up.

I gave up on EAA several years ago. They have long since forgotten their roots and where they came from. I do attend several regional grass roots antique fyi-ins. I am now restorimg the '38 and flying my '40 BC12.

I called Just Dashes in Los Angeles yesterday and they said they have the tooling to make a new dash pad for $399 shipped. Expensive but not too bad, and cracked dashes drive me crazy.

So the sun won't damage your new dash top.
I use the STP UV sealant protectant spray on that gives it a nice shine.
And still use a dashy cover.

The tire and wheel combo looks great! The wheels are actually correct for '67 too, the last year the innie type wheel was used. There is a " '67 only " F 250 hubcap with correct styling that will fit your rear wheels for that "factory look" if you choose to go that route. Here is one, ignore applications, seller doesn't have a clue.http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hub-Cap-Wheel-Cover-1967-1968-1969-1970-1971-1972-Ford-Econoline-Van-E100-Truck-/400853049480?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Year%3A1967%7CMake%3AFord&hash=item5d54b42088&vxp=mtr
